Chinese liquorice Powder
It is a herbaceous legume native to the Middle East, southern Europe and India. Licorice, sometimes spelled licorice, is a favorite sweetening ingredient for herbal tea blends and often used as a flavoring agent in desserts. Licorice root has been an important herb in Eastern and Western traditions of herbal medicine for thousands of years. The root can be loosened like licorice tea and infused with licorice extract
Licorice root is one of the most widely used herbs worldwide and is the most widely used herb in traditional Chinese medicine today. The Egyptians used it as a flavoring for a drink called my-sous, and large quantities were found in the tomb of King Tutankhamun on his journey to the afterlife. Pliny the Elder advised her to purify the voice and relieve thirst and hunger. Diocides, when traveling with Alexander the Great, recommended that he carry his troops and use licorice to help with endurance on long marches, as well as to quench thirst in drought regions. In the Middle Ages, it was taken to mitigate the negative effects of highly spicy or overly cooked foods. It has also been used in tobacco flavoring and as a foaming agent in beer and fire extinguishers
In a recent survey of Western medicinal herbalists, licorice ranked tenth among the most important herbs used in clinical practice. An astonishing number of Chinese herbal formulations (over 5,000) use licorice to sweeten tea and “harmonize” disparate herbs. Its first documented use dates back to the time of the great Chinese herbalist
