Licorice root tea loose 80g

Packaging unit: 80g loose tea

Ingredients: Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra)

Herbal medicine traditionally used for gastrointestinal complaints and colds. The tea has an antispasmodic, expectorant, anti-inflammatory and expectorant effect.

Aurica Licorice Root Tea consists of the dried, mostly unpeeled roots of the licorice plant "Glycyrrhiza glabra", also known as liquorice. Due to its intense sweetness, liquorice is often added to bronchial and cold teas as a flavoring agent. Traditionally, the aromatic-sweet tea is used for inflammatory diseases in the gastrointestinal tract and for diseases of the upper respiratory tract. Aurica liquorice root tea is therefore the ideal remedy for heartburn and acid-related stomach cramps. By helping to clear mucus and facilitate expectoration, it also effectively counteracts colds with sore throats and coughs.

• Traditionally used to relieve digestive complaints, including a burning sensation in the upper abdomen
• Traditionally used to loosen phlegm in colds with coughs.
