In this video, Dr. Berg talks about Licorice Root and its benefits.
There are two adrenal glands on top of the kidneys, the inside is all neurological tissue that produces adrenalin, noradrenaline, dopamine, and neurotransmitter which are hormone-like while the outside is a granular tissue that produces three hormones.
Cortex stimulates a hormone called mineralocorticoids that helps balance sodium and potassium. Licorice root will help inhibit high levels of cortisol and is really good for inflammation. But too much licorice extract could develop an excess amount of mineralocorticoids and you can start losing potassium and retaining sodium.
Benefits of Licorice Root:
• Anti-ulcer
• Gastritis
• Viral Hepatitis - especially the type that is autoimmune
• Anti-Inflammatory
• Coughing
• Adaptogen - helps with stress by balancing cortisol

[@nickhavel5177]

I wanted to get some of this for various gut reasons, but upon further study found out that licorice mimics estrogen in the body by binding to estrogen receptors. In one study licorice decreased serum testosterone levels by 26% in one week!! In another study, authors concluded their results demonstrated that licorice inhibits the enzymes involved in the production of testosterone. This has potential to be quite hormone altering in the body, so do you research and take at your own discretion. Taking supplements is not simply harmless because they're over the counter, and each should be researched before consuming or applying.

[@vickieturner8688]

As long as your purpose for the ACV is NOT to help process the food you are about to eat, drinking the 2 back to back doesn't matter. I drink my ACV drink directly before my meal due to my low stomach acid. I won't start drinking anything else that may dilute the acid until at least 1/2 way through my one meal for the day. NOW, if you are drinking the ACV for the other great health benefits drink it anytime you want. I use ice cold water (cuts the vinegar smell, which makes me cough) and Stevia and often have 3 of them throughout the day. It doesn't spike insulin. Many people will put 1-3 teaspoons of ACV and maybe lemon in a bottle and drink it all day long.

[@metaphysicalArtist]

Buy your own Licorice Root (sticks) 100gr from a local herbal store and cut them up in a blender,(Do not buy already powdered sticks)... add them to a Jar and fill them up with Vodka so they can soak. Put the Jar in your Cabinet for at least three months and shake it twice a week or daily, the darker the liquid gets the stronger it is. You can speed up the process if you can vacuum the jar from air to half the time. After 90 days use two drops every morning (its very strong). Done it and it helped me from waking up 5 times a night without anxiety of dying (acute sleep stress). I replaced my sugar in morning coffee with two drops only!
