Wise Woman Herbals – Licorice Root Solid Extract – 8 oz - Extra Strength 4:1 Liquid Extract - Alcohol-Free - Supports Healthy Digestion & Immune System Function

My naturopath doctor recommended I buy this to help fix my night time inappropriate Cortisol surges.I took it for 3 months, and felt so much better with Cortisol levels in the AM, instead of coursing at night causing insomnia, racing/pounding heart, and inability to stay asleep.That was a year ago.I just purchased this again because after a stressful move, a Hospitalization, and some other stressful events in my life, my Cortisol started up again at night time. I’m on day 4 of taking this Licorice Extract, and I’m already sleeping better at night.This stuff truly works! I take it as soon as I open my eyes, and again around noon.

As mentioned above, love the flavor it adds to my morning coffee - & that it helps my adrenals & possibly hypothyroidism at the same time. -- I would suggest explaining what is in the proprietary blend listed under ingredients - along with the licorice root.

My naturopath doctor recommended I buy this. I love the flavor. Highly recommend.

I am hard pressed to find pure extracts. My ND referred my to Wise Woman Herbals ages ago. They take great care to source the best natural medicines. I have used their slippery elm bark powder, licorice root, mullein and garlic for ear infections, etc. So many distributors put other ingredients in, but having MCAS and allergies, I cannot tolerate them. Wise Woman lives up to their name, providing clean, pure, potent, simple products that I have no worries about incorporating into my regimen.

This has less to do with the quality of the product and more to do with the power of this herb. I have been battling severe adrenal fatigue for 4 years and this comes with a lot of digestive issues (20 years of anorexia has wreaked havoc on my GI system). I tried this product 4 years ago and the bloating was insane, as was the constipation that followed. My ND was confident it was all in my head, but I just couldn't shake the symptoms and nothing else had changed in my diet or supplement world.Fast forward to this month. I decided I was feeling a bit more stable and would give this a go. My energy with this definitely improves. I'm not yawning at 11a all through the night. My ability to fall asleep also improved. Unfortunately, the bloating and constipation are back with a vengeance. No BM since day 2 of taking this. That was 6 days ago!! I had become extremely regular with daily BMs so I know this product is the culprit.Long story short...overall, I think this product (and this company) are great products. Just be mindful that not all bodies are created equal and to be aware of side effects. My bloating and constipation are not listed as side effects except with extended use, but the "coincidence" of the same issues with two separate attempted uses is enough for me to shelve this for good :(

This is a powerful herb and works very well. I took it for a few weeks to cool down my body that seemed to always be on fire; I was sweating like crazy morning and night due to menopause. This herb stopped the heat and the sweat in its tracks and I could sleep and not be miserable anymore. Only problem is it caused my blood pressure to rise because it also causes you to retain water. I could keep a good balance if I also added an herbal diuretic but could not get used to the headache of my blood pressure rising and falling, so I stopped taking it. If you use it for short periods of time then the blood pressure thing might not be a big problem, unfortunately it works so well that I wanted to take it all the time. It really does deserve five stars because everyone knows it causes the BP to rise, not the herb's fault but it does happen, and I'm too disappointed about having to stop to give it five stars. I'm now sweating like a pig again. Sigh.

I used to take now licorice for my adrenal fatigue. I ran out but forgot to re order it and noticed i was feeling horrible. I was about ready to order the now brand and I came across this brand. I gave it a shot and I am glad i did. I really notice a difference in my energy and mental fogginess when i take this product. the only downside is it is hard to dispense every day. I get a dropper bottle and pour it into the dropper bottle and then take 1 dropper per day. 1 dropper = 1/8th tsp per serving size. This saves me a lot of time when trying to take this product in the morning.

Chest cold, with a bad wet cough that i couldn't get rid of. Knew something was up after almost 2 months and still had it. This stuff did the trick by the time i finished the bottle. * was also taking black seed oil with it.
