What it is

Yashtimadhu (Licorice Root) is a digestive & adaptogen supplement. Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra, mulethi) is the classical Ayurvedic demulcent and rasayana for the gut, throat and adrenals. Used in adult dosing protocols in India and internationally, it is sold as a single-ingredient supplement.

How it works

Glycyrrhizin and flavonoids soothe mucous membranes, support gastric healing, ease cough/throat and prolong cortisol activity for adrenal/adaptogenic support. Effects are dose-dependent and typically measurable within 1-4 weeks.

Who should take it

Adults with reflux, throat irritation, dry cough or adrenal fatigue seeking a soothing rasayana.

Avoid / careful

Glycyrrhizin raises blood pressure and lowers potassium with prolonged use — avoid in hypertension; choose DGL for long-term gut use. Avoid in pregnancy.

FAQs

Frequently asked

Can I take Yashtimadhu long-term for stomach issues?
For long-term digestive support, especially for stomach lining issues, deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) is preferred to avoid potential side effects of glycyrrhizin like increased blood pressure and lowered potassium.
How quickly can I expect to feel the effects?
The soothing effects on the gut and throat are often felt within 1-2 weeks, while adaptogenic benefits may take 3-4 weeks to become noticeable.
Is Yashtimadhu safe for everyone?
No, individuals with hypertension or low potassium should avoid it due to glycyrrhizin's effects. It is also contraindicated in pregnancy.
