Licorice keeps cortisol in the system longer, raises BP

sometimes dangerously,

but also deranges electrolytes and many people can't take it

as a single herb due to resulting water retention (especially

women), no matter how much they wanted it to work for

low cortisol or low BP.

If you're going to experiment, 1 gelatin capsule of ground

herb is about 400-450 mg. Try that for starters and go down or

up from there. Most will abandon single herb licorice for

the above reasons.
