Dr. He Haochen
Honey-fried licorice root (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) possesses qi-tonifying properties. It is commonly used to harmonize the actions of other herbs in a formula and helps regulate conditions such as general physical debility and shortness of breath. In cases of hypertensive shock, collapse, or cardiac arrhythmia, honey-fried licorice root exerts protective effects on the body. It may serve as an alternative to corticosteroid medications in Western medicine and, when used for life-saving interventions, does not produce adverse side effects.
