Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice
Studied for: Gastritis
Gastritis
What the research found
(DGL) Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) stimulates mucus production in the stomach, which forms a protective barrier against harsh gastric acid. The "deglycyrrhizinated" form is highly preferred because it has the chemical glycyrrhizin removed, eliminating the risk of elevated blood pressure or fluid retention. Evidence: Highly regarded in holistic gastroenterology as a demulcent (soothing agent) that accelerates the healing of damaged gastric tissue.
