Licorice raises your BP by making you dump potassium.

It and honeysuckle have both been shown to have antiviral effects of assorted coronaviruses including SARS. Also against flu viruses.

My meds cabinet has both in it. If I feel myself coming down with anything I start dosing.

Licorice tea is cheap, tastes awful, but it seems to help.

If you're going to use it put a teaspoon of that low sodium salt into your food. Problem solved.

I think the fact idiots can easily OD and kill themselves is why it's not pushed.

Yes, but there is such a thing as deglyrricidized (I am sure I mangled that) licorice. I use it daily for my stomach ulcer.

EDIT: The bottle says "Deglycyrrhizinated".
