Not Just a Sweet Treat...
Licorice is well known as a flavouring agent and you may not know that it has a rich history of medicinal use. Licorice is an adaptogenic herb, meaning that it helps people during stressful times and recovery from illness and fatigue. Studies show that licorice contains chemicals that have a structure that is similar to the steroid hormones. The end result is stimulation of the adrenal gland and activation of the body's energy reserves. This response keeps us safe, allowing us to fight for survival, or to flee from dangerous situations. It also increases heart rate; blood pressure and blood flow to the brain, muscles, lungs and heart.
Thus licorice leads to increased energy, mental performance and performance in physical tasks. This response can deplete the body after a while so licorice must be used in moderation. Licorice also contains substances that regulate blood sugar, which also helps its energy enhancing properties. Licorice is a demulcent, an agent that coats and protects mucosal surfaces. In the respiratory tract licorice decreases cough, speeds removal of mucus and helps to heal the tract. In the stomach and intestines DGL licorice protects the lining from ulceration. Licorice also has anti-inflammatory properties and weak estrogen hormonal balancing activity. Natural health practitioners recommend licorice for a variety of needs including increased energy, stress, colds and coughs. DGL licorice is recommended for stomach and intestinal ulcers.
What is an adaptogenic herb?
Adaptogenic herbs tend to normalize body functions, and when the job is completed, they are eliminated or incorporated into the body without any side effects. Adaptogenic herbs are especially useful in times of increased stress, lowered immunity and lessened vitality. Some other excellent adaptogenic herbs include garlic, ginseng, echinacea, ginkgo, goldenseal and pau'darco.
Adrenal Fatigue
If you feel exhausted, there's a good chance that your adrenal glands are, too.Adrenal glands are small glands located on the upper pole of each kidney. There are two main areas of the adrenals. The cortex produces sex hormones, stress hormones and other hormones responsible for water & sugar balance. The medulla produces the stress hormones adrenaline and nor adrenaline. Diseases of the adrenal gland are Addison's disease and Cushing's syndrome. Addison's disease occurs when the body attacks the adrenal gland and may be concurrent with other autoimmune disorders.
Signs of low adrenal function can be similar to signs of being "stressed out" such as lethargy, dizziness, headaches, memory problems, food cravings and blood sugar imbalances, low libido. As the dysfunction gets more serious fainting, diarrhea, depression, moodiness, feeling cold, insomnia, allergies, asthma, discolouration of the skin, swelling and loss of body hair can occur.
The most important way to avoid adrenal burnout is to deal with stress in a healthy way. Regular exercise both stimulates the adrenal glands and relieves stress.
