Licorice Root: The Sweet Supporter Your Hair & Body Will Thank You For

Licorice Root: The Sweet Supporter Your Hair & Body Will Thank You For

If burdock is the deep cleanser of the herbal world, licorice root is its sweet-talker. Smooth, calming, and powerful in the most lowkey way, this golden root has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine. And yes, it's way more than just candy flavoring.

What is licorice root?

Licorice root comes from the Glycyrrhiza plant and has a naturally sweet flavor that masks bitterness in herbal blends. But don’t let the taste fool you — this root never played.

Whether you're drinking it in tea or applying it to your scalp, licorice root has strong anti-inflammatory, soothing, and healing properties. It's especially good at calming irritation, hydrating dry areas, and restoring balance.

Internal Benefits: Sweet Root, Strong Impact

- Soothe digestive issues and heartburn
- Support adrenal function and ease stress
- Calm inflammation throughout the body
- Coat the throat and help with coughs and colds

It’s a go-to for people dealing with chronic stress, digestive imbalances, or hormonal changes. And thanks to its naturally sweet flavor, it often stars in herbal teas to help the whole blend go down smoother.

Quick note: Too much licorice root over time can mess with blood pressure. Use with intention and balance.

Topical Benefits: Licorice Loves Your Scalp & Skin

- Dry, irritated skin + scalp
- Inflamed or flaky patches
- Hyperpigmentation and dark spots
- Itchy or reactive skin + scalp

Licorice root contains compounds that reduce redness, balance oil production, and even help lighten discoloration over time.

How Deep Root Uses Licorice Root

In Deep Root Oil, we use a slow-infusion of organic licorice root to extract its calming and balancing power. It’s especially helpful for:

- People with itchy, reactive scalp + skin
- Those healing from skin + scalp inflammation or scarring
- Anyone needing moisture and gentle soothing without heaviness

Licorice helps the entire blend glide, hydrate, and nourish the scalp while adding energetic softness to the healing process. It’s like the sweet whisper in a deep conversation.

With love, Yara Sage
