Product Description:Liquorice root has been used in Europe since prehistoric times, documented since the ancient Greeks, for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity. Phytochemists and biochemists have been working for decades elucidating the structure of the chemicals involved and mechanisms of action. In the case of the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra this is not a single chemical that benefits the skin, but rather a combination of many chemicals. For this reason, Glyzyrhizinic acid, a chemical found in liquorice root, has been shown to have pro-interferon and antiviral activity, including activity against the herpes virus.
