Licorice has a long history of medicinal use in both Eastern and Western systems of medicine.
Licorice has been used medicinally for over 3,000 years. The use of
Licorice was recorded on Assyrian tablets and Egyptian papryi. Among the many treasures found in King Tut's tomb was a bundle of
Licorice sticks.
