Licorice symbolism itself denotes its actions. In fact, the name 'Licorice' is derived (by the Old French word licoresse), from the ancient Greek glukurrhiza, meaning 'sweet root'. Licorice contains a number of components including a water-soluble, biologically active complex that accounts for 40-50 percent of the total dry Licorice root. Glycyrrhizin, a triterpenoid compound, accounts for the sweet taste of licorice root.

I've been dating for almost 7 years until i contracted GENITAL HERPES VIRUS from my Ex-boyfriend who never told me he was having it.Ever since then i have been searching for cure everywhere because i was feeling so uncomfortable having so many outbreaks, Most people have herpes in one form or another, i was first taking Antiviral medicines such as acyclovir (Zovirax), famciclovir (Famvir), and valacyclovir (Valtrex), which are recommended for treating primary genital herpes outbreaks..But i needed to get rid of it completely, I came across so many testimonies online speaking about cure to herpes. i was so eager to be completely cured, I became a victim of fraud after contacting several so-called herbal doctors i was referred to. I lost a lot of money but i didn't stop searching for a cure.
