There's much more to liquorice than allsorts!!
it's a HERB!!!
Liquorice has been eaten and used for many years, in fact there is historical evidence that it has existed for over 3000 years.
It has been found in mummys tombs and even recorded
in Buddhist original manuscripts dating from 360AD.
Liquorice was an important herb in ancient Egypt, China and Greece until the 15th century. It has been used to treat bronchial catarrh, bronchitis, arthritis, inflamed joints, some skin problems, digestive problems, mouth ulcers
and as a flavouring to mask undesirable tastes in medicine.
So,the liquorice root that is used to flavour confectionery,
can also help many ailments
