Dr. He Haochen
Licorice root tea offers numerous health benefits:
- It clears heat and detoxifies the body, helping to alleviate symptoms such as “excess internal heat” (e.g., oral ulcers, sore throat, and pharyngeal swelling/pain).
- It moistens the lungs and suppresses coughing, thereby relieving cough and expectoration caused by lung deficiency.
- It helps lower blood lipid levels, aiding in the management of hyperlipidemia.
- It reduces androgen levels, thereby helping regulate endocrine function.
