Licorice Root tincture effective against Coronaviruses?
Caroline Snyder
Right now, I am making my own Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza Glabra) tincture, as Licorice has been found to be one of the most effective agents against Coronaviruses. The commercial product is being cleaned from the shelves of mail order outlets as there are obviously others who think like me!
The Institute of Medical Virology in Frankfurt had researchers test four pharmaceuticals against a compound found in the root of licorice plants for the treatment of coronavirus from SARS patients.
The Lancet published the results which showed that licorice out performed all of the four drugs in so far as inhibiting the virus. Licorice greatly reduced the virus’s ability to reproduce itself as well as inhibit the virus from penetrating healthy cells. Licorice has also been shown to stop the reproduction of HIV in lab studies.

Caution however, as Licorice can elevate blood pressure!
