Licorice root is first mentioned in Chinese medicine in Zhang Zhongjing’s medicinal masterpiece “Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Miscellaneous Diseases” around 190 CE. Although licorice was probably in usage as a medicine long before then. It decreases thirst and soothes the throat, and was used to “harmonize” other flavors in Chinese medicines. Thus licorice is found in an astonishing 5,000 Chinese herbal formulas today!
