Hundreds of tons of Licorice for commercial and medicinal purposes are imported annually from Spain, Russia, Germany, France and the East, most of the supply coming from Spain and Italy. The Liquorice of medicine and commerce is derived from the sweet root of various species of Glycyrrhiza, a genus which contains about fourteen species, natives of warmer temperate countries in both the New and Old Worlds, ten of them having roots more or less sweet, but most of them not sufficiently so to be of use. It is a popular and well-known remedy for coughs, consumption and chest complaints generally, notably bronchitis, and is an ingredient in almost all popular cough medicines on account of its valuable soothing properties. In Ayurvedic medicine Licorice is also used in tooth powders and is known as Jastimadhu. Modern cough syrups often include liquorice extract as an ingredient. Additionally, Licorice may be useful in conventional and naturopathic medicine for both mouth ulcers and peptic ulcers.
