- LICORICE ROOT LINKS
Note: an excellent cough drop. Helps nourish lungs and calm stomach. Good for adrenals.
my notes, not a complete set, though. The exact links would not go through the computer system for some reason. But there is enough to find them them from the main sites.
www.naturalnews.com -- full links won't post here. Search "Licorice" at this site for 2 articles:

Licorice root proven effective against oral infections
January 12, 2012 by: Tara Green
From “The One Earth Herbal Sourcebook” (Tillotson, et.al.)
[Be sure to read the whole page & also research from other authors]
Excerpt:
. . . We now know that the negative effects of licorice overdose, such as blood pressure elevation and fluid retention, are caused primarily by its dose-dependent inhibition of a specific enzyme called 11-HSD.
Analysis reveals that this inhibition occurs only after multiple doses of 1.5 grams per day of pure glycyrrhizic acid.
Daily doses of 500 mg. or less cause little or no problem . . . . In other words, licorice root is safe when used in proper dosage.
. . . .
WHERE TO FIND: (let 2-4 of the bits melt a little while in the "well" of lower mouth and any rough edges can melt away.)
. . . Zagarese licorice comes from a species (glycyrrhiza glabra) grown in the southern part of Italy. Its natural glycyrrhizin content is only about 5%, so there is no need to deglycyrrhizinate it.
The Zagarese company has been producing pure licorice extract as its sole product since 1886, using only organic methods of cultivation. . . .

- I find this very soothing to the throat and calming to a cough - can be added to warm water or any tea. I get it from Tahoma Dispensary but that same brand can be found in various places.

- The "Add-On" thing with Amazon is a way they can offer small items with no shipping if the overall total of your order is over $35. - it does not have to be all of the same thing but they all must have that "Free shipping with $35. total purchase" note on them.
There are three different sites to order in in the post above. And this may be available at others, too.
I know that you can order just one box from Tahoma clinic . . . and maybe also at Amazon. When you search the name at Amazon, you may see different choices of how many to order - sometimes one choice for just about anything will be a bunch of them.
I wish I could post the exact links but this computer system is very picky sometimes and blocks certain URLs even if they don't have the "html" thing they think they detect (and block for some reason).
It has me so frustrated that I'm about to forget trying to post any links. It took me 2 days to figure out how to get just what is in that post above. It was just getting blocked, attempt after attempt until I just deleted all specific URLs to products.
Sometimes, this computer system just won't take any links and it just gets twitchy from time to time - usually, it's a breeze. If I find those specific links might go through later, I'll try if I get the energy. -

- Many natural foods stores may also carry this or a similar item. Just be sure the same key issues match up if you get a different brand. Not all are the same.
Some gourmet food shops will also carry licorice bit in a metal tin. Again, you'd have to research the source but detail in post above tells you how to determine the best kind. -

- For instance, at first glance, this one looks like a good choice. But it is not. They make it very hard to find where their ingredients are listed an it's sure not on all sites where they have this marketed. A big clue when it's so hard to find out ingredients and their sources.
Organic? Yes, but not so fast. It is not pure licorice . . . has all sorts of other stuff added:
But, these little tins are what I'm talking about. there are other brands out there, many at gourmet shops, too. I had found one years ago that was just perfect. But it fell off the radar.
NOT good with additives. And so NOT necessary. They are just trying to cut their costs. Nothing should be added, absolutely nothing. -

- As I recall, I could not find a suitable one at VitaCost. For a LOGENZE / TREAT that is. They may well have good quality licorice capsules or licorice in adrenal formula.
The only brand of LOGENZE / TREAT to melt in mouth - I can recommend is this one. There may be others out there its equal but you can look further. This has all that I seek so I'll stop here. Three places to get it:
