Licorice is the subject of two German Commission E therapeutic monographs, which find it effective for conditions “of the upper respiratory tract.” 

The American Botanical Council provided a summary article, confirming the effectiveness of Licorice for a variety of conditions. “Licorice is known to exhibit many pharmacological activities. Its traditional uses include sore throat, abdominal pain, among others.”

Daniel B. Mowrey, Ph.D. in his book, The Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine, repeatedly discussed Licorice as effective for “respiratory ailments, skin conditions, as a female tonic, blood purification and detoxification, circulation, fatigue, weight loss, environmental related conditions, thyroid, whole body and mental alertness”.

 Feather Jones, a clinical herbalist, in her book, Medicinal Herb Handbook, describes Licorice as having “a soothing influence upon gastric mucosa, an excellent remedy for peptic and duodenal ulcerations. Used for adrenal exhaustion as a strengthener to that organ’s system” 

 Elements of Health describes Licorice; “Cleanses the colon, promotes adrenal glad function, decreases spasms, and increases fluidity of mucus from the lungs and bronchial tubes. Studies show Licorice root stimulates the production of interferon.”

FDA has permitted claims that Licorice provides “soothing benefits for the stomach, digestive tract, and as an antioxidant”; “botanical support for gastrointestinal, liver and respiratory function”; a “digestive herb which benefits and soothes the stomach”; and “scientific research indicates its soothing benefits for the stomach, digestive tract, and as an antioxidant.”
