Licorice Root Tea

This tea has a wide range of benefits, every one of them well received by the physical body, especially with the unique challenges presented to our health in this time of the pathogenic explosion. Licorice root tea knocks back the herpetic stealth viruses that people live with, whether or not they realize their struggles are viral. Cold sores (fever blisters) are extremely common, and the herpes virus behind cold sores does not like licorice root. Licorice root is not just antiviral. It also has the ability to soothe inflamed vagus nerves that wrap around the torso and around the digestive tract. Licorice root tea eases a sour, unhappy, acidy stomach—a symptom that so many live with—and calms gastric distress. Licorice root also suppresses bacterial overgrowth and is another true plant medicine. Try licorice root tea if you feel a need to soothe the linings of your gut.

Licorice is the most important adrenal restorative we have today. It acts like a battery charger for the adrenals: it brings them out of a fatigued state and increases their capacity to function to your advantage.
