Adimaturam or Liquorice root (Mulethi)

Liquorice offers benefits for digestive health by soothing the stomach and protecting against ulcers, and for respiratory health by acting as an expectorant and demulcent to relieve coughs and sore throats. It also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can support the immune system, promote healthy skin, and offer protection against certain viruses and bacteria.  

Digestive Benefits 

• Ulcer Prevention: 

  It can help protect against stomach ulcers by promoting the production of mucus in the stomach lining.

• Stomach Soothing: 

  Liquorice forms a protective coating on the stomach lining, which helps to reduce inflammation, soothe heartburn, and alleviate symptoms of indigestion and gastritis.

Respiratory Benefits 

• Soothes Sore Throats: 

  Its demulcent quality helps to coat and soothe the throat, providing relief from pain and irritation.

• Aids Congestion: 

  As an expectorant, liquorice helps to thin and expel mucus from the respiratory tract, making it beneficial for coughs and congestion.

Immune & Other Health Benefits

• Immune Support: 

  Packed with powerful antioxidants, liquorice strengthens the body's defense mechanisms, helping to fight off viruses and bacteria. 

• Skin Health: 

  Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties can help soothe the skin, reducing redness and irritation and potentially addressing dark spots. 

• Dental Health: 

  Liquorice contains compounds that can help protect against cavity-causing bacteria. 

Potential Use in Chronic Conditions

• Chronic Hepatitis C: 

  The glycyrrhizin in liquorice shows antiviral activity and may help prevent the virus from infecting healthy liver cells.

  Liquorice may have a calming effect on the nerves, helping to reduce anxiety and promote a sense of equilibrium.
