Medicinal plants are gaining much more interest and importance because of their use in treating many common diseases like cough, cold, fever and other ailments. This natural herb scientifically called as “Glycyrrhiza glabra” and is commonly known as “Licorice” is usually recommended for various health disorders.
According to the literature, the main part of interest in the plant lies in its rhizomes (roots) which contain the active constituent Glycyrrhizic acid (Glycyrrhizin) a triterpenoid compound, that have been used for thousands of years as a superior expectorant forming a wonderfully effective ingredient in cough medicines and cough drops. Any kind of study on medicinal plants starts with their extraction procedures which plays a critical role to the extraction outcomes (yield and phytochemicals content).

For centuries, Licorice root has been used to treat a wide variety of inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis and other conditions characterized by inflammation and itch.
Licorice root has been used both orally and topically for these skin conditions.
​
The active ingredient Glycyrrhizin has a strong anti-inflammatory activity that is similar to cortisol and steroids. Steroids are commonly used drugs in treating inflammatory dermatologic conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis.
​
Licorice root also contains powerful antioxidants that can neutralise free radicals from external environmental (sun, pollution) and internal (e.g., energy production) stressors.
