Studies show licorice root stimulates the production of interferon.
WARNING: Do not use if you have high blood pressure. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice may stimulate the body's defence mechanisms that prevent the occurrence of ulcers by increasing the amount of mucous-secreting cells in the digestive tract.
This improves the quality of mucous, lengthens intestinal cell life, and enhances microcirculation in the gastrointestinal lining. Licorice derivaties have been recommended as a standard nutritional support for ulcer sufferers in Europe.
