Liquorice or licorice is the common name of Glycyrrhiza glabra, a flowering plant of the bean family Fabaceae, from the root of which a sweet, aromatic flavouring can be extracted. 

Scientific name: Glycyrrhiza glabra

Liquorice root has been used in traditional (Ayurveda) medicine for thousands of years to treat coughs, asthma, stomach pain, insomnia, and infections. Indeed, Liquorice contains various beneficial plant compounds that contain anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Liquorice is rich in flavonoids that help prevent obesity and doesn't let fat deposit in your body. It is known to reduce body fat without affecting the BMI index of our body. It is said to have a soothing effect on skin and helps to ease inflammation. The glycyrrhizin found in liquorice may reduce redness, irritation and swelling, and is used to treat skin conditions like atopic dermatitis and eczema.
