It acts as a demulcent, a soothing, coating agent, and as an expectorant.*

 

According to AI:

Stephen Buhner highlights licorice root for its antiviral, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and adaptogenic properties. He often includes it as a synergistic and supportive herb in his treatment protocols for various infections, such as those for Lyme disease coinfections and chlamydia pneumonia. 

Key benefits and uses of licorice, according to Buhner's work, include:

Antiviral activity: The compound glycyrrhizin in licorice can inhibit viral replication and stimulate the immune system. It is recommended as a broad-spectrum antiviral agent in his book, Herbal Antivirals, for a range of viruses.

Anti-inflammatory effects: Licorice is a potent anti-inflammatory agent, helpful for reducing inflammation throughout the body, including in cases of inflammatory bowel diseases, gastritis, and ulcers.

Adrenal support: It is a well-known herb for "adrenal fatigue" or stress support because it helps prevent the breakdown of cortisol, the body's primary stress hormone, which helps maintain energy levels and improve the stress response.

Demulcent/Protective: It acts as a demulcent, protecting and soothing mucous membranes, which is beneficial for the respiratory system (coughs, sore throats, catarrhs) and the digestive tract.

Immunomodulation: Licorice can modulate the immune system, meaning it can both stimulate immune function (e.g., in cancer or chronic fatigue) and reduce excessive immune responses (e.g., in autoimmune diseases like lupus or allergies).

Synergistic and Additive: Buhner classifies licorice as a primary synergist herb, meaning it enhances the effectiveness of other herbs in a formula. He discourages using only one herb (monotherapy) and advocates for using multiple herbs together for improved outcomes. 

Important Caution: Buhner advises using licorice judiciously. Due to its effect on cortisol, long-term use or large doses can lead to side effects such as elevated blood pressure and hypokalemia (low potassium levels). Individuals with high blood pressure, heart, or kidney disease should generally avoid this herb or use deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) under the supervision of a healthcare practitioner. For antiviral use, he specifies that the high-glycyrrhizin form is necessary, not DGL*
