3. Glycyrrhizic acid has an inhibitory effect on cotton ball granuloma, formaldehyde edema, tuberculin reaction, and subcutaneous granuloma cystic inflammation in rats. Glycyrrhizinamide and sodium glycyrrhizinate can effectively affect the exudative and proliferative phases of subcutaneous granulomatous inflammation, and their anti-inflammatory strength is weaker than or close to that of cortisone.

4. Glycyrrhizin can directly destroy viral cells in test tubes and also has an inhibitory effect on varicella and herpes zoster viruses. In addition to its direct effect on viral particles, the antiviral effect of glycyrrhizin is also related to its induction of interferon and increase in natural killer cell activity.

5. After oral administration, licorice can cover the inflamed pharyngeal mucosa, relieve inflammatory stimulation and suppress cough. At the same time, licorice can promote the secretion of pharyngeal and bronchial mucosa, making phlegm easier to cough up, thus exerting an antitussive and expectorant effect.
