Re: DLPA increase LDN side effects? - Licorice Root

[Guest guest]

Licorice - Safety

' ... Licorice consumption may cause serious side effects. Too much of the

component glycyrrhizin causes a condition called pseudoaldosteronism, which

can cause an individual to become overly sensitive to a hormone in the

adrenal cortex. This condition can lead to headaches, fatigue, high blood

pressure, and even heart attacks. ... '

' ... People with high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, or kidney, heart,

or liver conditions should avoid licorice. This herb should also not be

used by pregnant or breast-feeding women or by men with decreased libido or

other sexual dysfunctions. Use of any licorice product is not recommended

for longer than 4 - 6 weeks. ... '

' ... Corticosteroids -- Licorice may increase the effects of

corticosteroid medications. You should consult with your doctor before

using licorice with any corticosteroids. ... '

' ... Oral contraceptives -- There have been reports of women developing

high blood pressure and low potassium levels when they took licorice while

on oral contraceptives. Therefore, you should avoid licorice if you are

taking birth control medications. ... '

I'll stick with licorice root for adrenal support.
