Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I read somewhere that licorice can only be taken for a specified amount of time and then had to be discontinued, but I don't remember the details. Does anyone know the proper regimen for taking licorice?? It is helping me tremendously...I am able to cut back significantly on HC since taking licorice in the AM with a large glass of milk. My temps have even gone up to 98.9 and I've had a great boost of energy!! I hope I don't have to stop it for long. Would appreciate any info. thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 The best I know of is " Baschetti " . I order it from Jace Medical in California. It is pure licorice root powder from Italy and comes in a tub. They recommend mixing it with milk for a higher sodium content for more help with BP, but I don't use cow's milk so I just boil some water and mix it in a glass jar (you have to use boiling water so it will dilute and then I fill the rest of the glass bottle with cold water. Just google " Jace Medical and Baschetti licorice " Re: Licorice Question Yes, I too am looking for a good brand of licorice to start taking? And details about how long to take it?

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Well, the Commission E says their study lasted 7 years, LOL. Dr. Duke and the Commission simply say to see a doctor if you take it longer than a month. I think that is a CYA statement, just in case you might have one of the contraindicating conditions and don't know it. Dr. Duke gives licorice his safety rating of 2, which means it is no more of a risk than a cup of coffee [provided you don't have the contra indicator conditions]. sol scubjay wrote: > I never knew natural stuff can have so many unhealthy side effects, so > what is a safe usage time period?? > I wish we could invent a MIRACLE pill to help adrenals heel that would > work for everyone no matter what!

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Dr. Duke's ethnobotanical database will give you more info than you ever wanted about every chemical contained in just about every herb. Here is some of the info there for licorice root http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/duke/farmacy2.pl Herbs are fascinating, but they do contain actual chemicals that have biological action. Some of those chemicals can have serious interactions with other herbs, as well as with Rx and OTC meds. Here is a google search for interactions between herbs and drugs http://www.google.com/search?hl=en & q=herb+drug+interactions & btnG=Google+Search I used to have some excellent sites for checking herb interactions with Rx meds but I lost them all in a software crash early this year. So pointing to a google search is the best I can do. To me it is part of taking responsibility for my own health to check interactions myself. No matter who tells me something is safe. You can also look up drugs online at drugs.com and similar sites. sol scubjay wrote: > I never knew natural stuff can have so many unhealthy side effects, so > what is a safe usage time period?? > I wish we could invent a MIRACLE pill to help adrenals heel that would > work for everyone no matter what!

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 >>I am wondering how long one should wait to have breakfast after taking licorice?>> The way it works best is to take it first thing in the morning with a large glass of milk. The sodium in the milk is helpful to the licorice and it doesn't dump into the system at once as the milk causes it to digest slower. I do that as soon as I wake up with my HC, and then within a half hour I eat breakfast...it makes a HUGE difference in my midmorning temps and energy. Hope this helps Dove Rose ---------- My Beloved is mine and I am His His banner over me is love. (SS. 2:16) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 They are listed in the Commission E info, link sent earlier. Dr. Duke says " Taking more than 50 grams of licorice root a day can elevate blood pressure, lower potassium levels, and cause water retention....Given these potential problems, you probably shouldn't take the herb if you have hypertension, kidney problems, liver problems, diabetes or heart problems. " The Green Pharmacy Herbal Handbook, p 198. Since apparently the average daily dose is under 1 gram, 50 grams would be an enormous dose. sol scubjay wrote: > [provided you don't have the contra > >> indicator conditions]. >> sol >> >> > Um, whats that mean?? > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Please tell me which brand you take? And - will it work just as well with kefir or yogurt? >>>The way it works best is to take it first thing in the morning with a large glass of milk.

Yes, it works perfectly well in kefir and yogurt...in fact, I put a half glass of Kefir and half milk every day. The milk product helps it release more slowly (not a sudden boost, but more evenly for hours), and the milk product provides sodium as well. Dove Rose ---------- My Beloved is mine and I am His.
