Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), known as mulethi or jethimadhu in India from Greek "glukurrhiza" (sweet root), originated in southern Europe, the Mediterranean, and parts of Asia over 4,000 years ago. Its sweet, anise-like extract from the root treats coughs, sore throats, and digestion in Ayurvedic medicine and teas, while modern candies use flavoring.
