Sometimes called the great harmonizer, licorice root has a long historyof use in Chinese medicine for a variety of conditions. For somepeople, the glycyrrhizin component of whole licorice can cause adversereactions, particularly for those who have high blood pressure. However,a unique extract called deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) is freeof glycyrrhizin. DGL has had no significant reported adverse effects.It therefore avoids the adverse reactions to whole licorice, butretains its beneficial qualities.*
