It is an anti-ulcer compound that inhibits the formation of gastric and duodenal ulcers and alleviates damaged and inflamed mucous lining. Some Studies show that the flavonoids in it are effective in inhibiting the growth of harmful H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori) in our stomach. licorice root doesn’t just block symptoms, it actually helps the digestive tract heal. licorice root stimulates the body to increase the number of mucus-secreting cells in the digestive tract, improves the quality of mucus, lengthens intestinal cell life and enhances microcirculation in the gastrointestinal lining. To make a long story short, that is how it ultimately helps prevent ulcers and literally cures you of heartburn or GERD (Acid Reflux).
