Dr. Zeng Chaofen
Raw licorice root helps resolve phlegm, clear heat, and strengthen the spleen and stomach. It is highly effective in treating sore throat and swelling, gastric pain, loose stools and insomnia caused by deficiency of both the heart and spleen. Additionally, it may help prevent premature ejaculation and prostatitis in men. However, raw licorice root should not be used long-term or consumed in large quantities at once, as this may lead to dependency.
