Many people often suffer from great pain in their throats due to lack of water in winter.

1. The main effects of licorice are to nourish the spleen and replenish qi, clear away heat and detoxify, eliminate phlegm and relieve cough, relieve acute pain, and harmonize various medicines. It is used for spleen and stomach weakness, fatigue, palpitations and shortness of breath, cough with excessive sputum, cramps and pain in the abdomen and limbs, carbuncles and sores, and to relieve the toxicity and potency of drugs. It is used for heart qi deficiency, palpitations, irregular pulse, spleen and stomach qi deficiency, fatigue, etc. The former is often used in combination with cinnamon twig, such as Guizhi Gancao Decoction and Zhigancao Decoction. The latter is often used together with Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, etc., such as Sijunzi Decoction and Lizhong Pills.

2. Adrenal cortex hormone-like effect: Licorice extract, glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhetinic acid can promote sodium and water retention in healthy humans and animals; a small dose of glycyrrhizin (100ug each) can cause thymus atrophy and increase adrenal weight in rats, producing a glucocorticoid cortisone-like effect. At high doses, the glucocorticoid-like effect is not obvious, and only the mineralocorticoid-like effect is present.

3. Detoxification effect: Licorice extract and glycyrrhizin have certain detoxification abilities for certain drug poisoning, food poisoning, and poisoning by metabolites in the body. The effective ingredient for detoxification is glycyrrhizin, and the detoxification mechanism is the combined effect of factors such as glycyrrhizin's adsorption effect on poisons, glucuronic acid, a hydrolysis product of glycyrrhizin, which can bind to poisons, and glycyrrhizin's adrenal cortex hormone-like effect, which enhances the liver's detoxification ability.

4. Antitussive and antiasthmatic effects Glycyrrhetinic acid has a significant central antitussive effect. Large doses of glycyrrhetinic acid can cause respiratory depression in mice. In addition, glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhizin salt have anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-liver damage, anti-cancer, antibacterial and anti-HIV (glycyrrhizin) effects.
