I use this to manage my pain in the colder months from fibromyalgia, degenerative disc diseases, and arthritis in most of my body.

✨️It is very important that if you use this root internally, that you limit your use of this root. 𝙄𝙏 𝙄𝙎 𝙉𝙊𝙏 𝙎𝙊𝙈𝙀𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙏𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝘾𝘼𝙉 𝘽𝙀 𝙐𝙎𝙀𝘿 𝙀𝙑𝙀𝙍𝙔 𝘿𝘼𝙔 𝙁𝙊𝙍 𝙇𝙄𝙁𝙀. 3 month's max is the internal limit for this herb. Any longer and 𝙄𝙏 𝙒𝙄𝙇𝙇 𝘿𝘼𝙈𝘼𝙂𝙀 𝙊𝙍𝙂𝘼𝙉𝙎. I suggest that before you use this root internally, you do your own research and consult your healthcare provider.

I also have used this in spells. *To be honest, I do not know what I use licorice root for in my spells, I just "know" I need to use it in certain spells. Anymore, when I do spells, it's all on intuition. I don't look up meanings or uses of anything anymore. I just do what feels right.

For those of you who are new to spellwork, I find that using your tuition with choosing items for spells, whether it be herbs, essential oils, objects, etc, I find that my spells are more powerful when I create them, than go off of someone else's spell. Although, I did this at first until my intuition kicked in. Now, you can also use a spell from someone else and add or take away any ingredient that you feel you need to, and by doing this, you have actually created your own spell! It's very exciting when you create your own for the very first time!

Licorice Root doesn't just have a history; it boasts a legacy spanning over two thousand years. This herb's story is a global one, with its roots deeply intertwined with the annals of ancient Assyrian, Egyptian, Chinese, and Indian cultures. To give you an idea of just how esteemed it was, consider that Licorice Root was found in the tomb of the legendary King Tutankhamun (1356 to 1339 B.C.E.). That's right; it was considered so valuable that it accompanied the pharaohs into the afterlife.

𝑮𝒍𝒐𝒃𝒂𝒍 𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒗𝒆𝒍

• Assyrian and Egyptian Traditions: In the historical records of Assyrian and Egyptian cultures, Licorice Root was hailed not just for its magical properties but also for its medicinal prowess. It was a go-to remedy for addressing a wide range of health concerns.

• Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Fast forward to 190 AD, and Licorice Root was already a superstar in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It earned the prestigious title of a "guide herb." In this revered role, it was combined with other herbs to supercharge their effectiveness, elevate Qi (that's energy, folks), neutralize toxicity, and enhance overall flavor. TCM especially cherished Licorice Root's knack for soothing dry coughs and flu symptoms affecting the throat and lungs. In fact, it was found to be just as effective as codeine in managing unproductive coughs, helping to clear out phlegm. But that's not all; it could also give your blood pressure a nudge and had some estrogenic qualities to boot.

✨️𝑾𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 & 𝑪𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔✨️

Licorice Root is generally considered safe for most people when used in moderation. However, there are a few cautions to keep in mind:

• Overconsumption can lead to high blood pressure, salt and water retention, and low potassium levels.

• Not recommended for pregnant or nursing women, and those with heart, liver, or kidney conditions.

• Interacts with certain medications, such as diuretics, corticosteroids, and antihypertensives. Always consult with a healthcare provider if you're taking any medications.

𝑼𝒔𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐

LOVE • LUST • FIDELITY • CONTROL • BOOSTING MAGICAL POWER

• Love: Licorice Root's got a knack for dialing up the love vibes. Whether you're looking for new romance or want to rekindle the spark in your current relationship, it's your go-to magical wingman.

• Lust: This root's not shy about cranking up the heat. If you're in the mood for some passion and desire, Licorice Root's got your back. It doesn't care about borders; it'll make your love life sizzle no matter where you're from.

• Fidelity: Staying loyal and faithful? Licorice Root's got your back, even if you're not from its hometown in Southeastern Europe. It's like the guardian of commitment in relationships.

• Control and Compulsion: Need a little extra oomph when it comes to making decisions or influencing someone's choices? Licorice Root's the subtle powerhouse you need.

• Heightening Power: When it's time to amp up your magical game, Licorice Root's your secret weapon. Whether you're flying solo in your rituals or following hoodoo traditions, it cranks up the volume on your intentions, making your spells supercharged.

Licorice root shares an innate connection with the element of water, symbolizing emotion, intuition, and the depths of the unconscious mind. In many magical traditions, water is linked with the qualities of healing, purification, and transformation—traits that Licorice Root embodies to a "T" (or should I say, to a "tea"?). Known for its calming and soothing properties, this root herb can be likened to a still, deep lake that nurtures the life around it.

Its moisture-loving nature and its ability to soothe inflammations and irritations resonate with water's qualities of nurturing and emotional healing. As water is ever-changing, yet holds untold depths, so does Licorice Root work subtly but profoundly to balance emotional states and enhance introspection. For practitioners focusing on water-aligned spellwork or rituals—whether it's emotional healing, dreamwork, or intuitive development—Licorice Root makes an intuitive and potent ally. So, the next time you're summoning the energies of water for your magical workings, consider inviting Licorice Root to the watery waltz.

𝑨𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑨𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔

• Mercury: If we're going astrological, Licorice Root's cosmic buddy is Mercury. Mercury is all about communication and the flow of thought, and in the old tales, it was the divine messenger of the gods. Intriguingly, Mercury also presides over the sixth house, which deals with health. This astrological dance mirrors Licorice Root's role in supporting the immune and respiratory systems. Plus, its status as a "guide herb" takes on a whole new dimension when you consider Mercury's role in directing and coordinating other celestial forces.

• Jupiter: Beyond its practical uses, Licorice Root has a spiritual side. It was used as an offering in religious ceremonies and ritually burned. This aligns with the expansive energy of the planet Jupiter. Back in the day, no rites of passage were complete without an herb from the Jupiter spectrum. This deep connection clarifies why Licorice Root was reverently buried in the tombs of ancient Egypt, symbolizing its role in both earthly and spiritual journeys.

𝑳𝒊𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒐𝒕: 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒂𝒕 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒌𝒓𝒂’𝒔 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒃𝒂𝒍 𝑨𝒍𝒍𝒚

Licorice root, with its soothing qualities, is commonly associated with the Throat Chakra, also known as Vishuddha in Sanskrit. This chakra is the epicenter of communication, self-expression, and speaking one's truth. In many spiritual traditions, the Throat Chakra is seen as the bridge between our inner and outer worlds, and it's often the bottleneck where emotional and mental tensions can manifest. Licorice root's gentle soothing energies lend themselves perfectly to balancing and opening this chakra. The herb is often used in teas and elixirs aimed at vocal health, clearing energetic blockages in the throat area, and enhancing one's ability to communicate clearly and effectively. Its sweet yet assertive nature embodies the perfect balance of energies needed to speak your truth and be heard, akin to a soulful ballad that strikes the perfect chord—making Licorice Root a go-to herbal ally for Throat Chakra work.

𝑳𝒊𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒐𝒕’𝒔 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒆

Licorice root's sweet and soothing qualities often see it associated with deities of healing, love, and protection. In various pantheons, it's not uncommon to find it linked with goddesses and gods of medicine and herbal knowledge. Some deities we believe would appreciate licorice root include:

Aphrodite: As the goddess of love, beauty, and pleasure, Aphrodite would certainly appreciate the allure of Licorice Root. Known for its subtly sweet flavor and its use in love spells, Licorice Root could be considered a heavenly match for Aphrodite's own sensual and magnetic energies. In a similar vein, it's a go-to for spells and rituals focusing on attraction and affection, which could make it a lovely offering or tool in workings devoted to Aphrodite.

• Ma'at: The Egyptian goddess of truth, justice, and harmony would likely find Licorice Root to be an ideal counterpart. This root has properties that promote balance and equilibrium in the body, paralleling Ma'at's role in maintaining cosmic balance. Licorice Root could be used in rituals or spells aimed at seeking justice, establishing harmony, or even divination practices that seek to unveil hidden truths—all of which resonate with Ma'at's divine jurisdiction.

• Thoth: The god of wisdom, writing, and magic, Thoth would likely be captivated by Licorice Root's versatility. Known for enhancing cognitive function and for its uses in various forms of spell work, Licorice Root aligns well with Thoth's realms of knowledge and magical mastery. For practitioners seeking to enhance their skills in writing, communication, or magical studies, incorporating Licorice Root into your practice could be a nod to Thoth's own boundless wisdom.

So, in the grand tapestry of divine correspondences, Licorice Root weaves itself seamlessly into the fabrics of Aphrodite's allure, Ma'at's equilibrium, and Thoth's arcane wisdom. It could certainly serve as a versatile offering or tool in any rituals or spells dedicated to these deities.

YIPEEE BIG SWEET ROOT COOKIE POST + SOME LORE ON HER

Obviously, Sweet Root is a cookie of darkness; though, she does contemplate running away sometimes, she chooses to stay bc she still has a blast with these ppl. She doesn’t really do many missions but when she does come on a mission she’s usually used as bait since she’s naturally very friendly and sociable+loves making friends.

Sweet Root Cookie was originally baked by Licorice cookie to be a servant after he found a mysterious glowing powder while rummaging through an abandoned village, infusing it with a chunk of his dough+baking it thinking it was powerful and would impress dark enchantress. He eventually gave up on the servant thing after she would NOT do anything he expected out of her.

A lot of her powers are rooted in the sun! She has a healing glow/warmth+can make plants grow, but if she escalates it a LOT then she can burn/caramelize cookies/things. (The powder also gave her more color and the white hair!!)

Her powers are actually kind of limited, because as she heals more and more, she gets drained of her warmth as well, leading to her dough getting dry, cracking, and returning to its natural color (fun fact! She can crumble if she gets too drained. Also the powder was kind of the only reason she even survived past being baked bc of my headcanon that Licorice’s dough isn’t strong enough for allat 💔)

But her recharging process is simple, she just needs to sunbathe!!

Lil baby Sweet Root for shiggles

Her relationship with Licorice is really dramatic, they both treat each other like roommates/siblings and forget they are literal parent and child sometimes, so that’s fun

Her relationship with most of COD is mostly positive despite the general disliking of Licorice, excepting a few who ESPECIALLY hate him and Affogato. She does NOT like Affogato and is very passive aggressive/petty with him. She also has a very older sister-younger sibling relationship with Poison Mushroom and they like to follow her around everywhere.

Ofc her psychological horror theyfriend that she found in the woods and took in like a feral stray black cat

Random lil doodle of her in an AU where she doesn’t have the powder infused with her dough and miraculously survives past babydoughhood

Ross do you need a legitimate razor I worry about you getting razor burn from unprofessional barbers (cough Joe cough Bora cough)

Hello thebowieconstricker, Ross here

I usually use a decent 3-blade razor from Gillette I think? It's orange on the handle that's all I really remember. But I think I'm good on razors for now, unless anyone wants to sponsor the band for haircare.

Thanks for your concern, but I usually shave my own facial hair (I don't know why I would get Joe or Bora to do it... are they secret amazing barbers?)

Abstract

The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 developed into a global pandemic affecting millions of people worldwide. Despite one year of intensive research, the current treatment options for SARS-CoV-2 infected people are still limited. Clearly, novel antiviral compounds for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients are still urgently needed. Complementary medicine is used along with standard medical treatment and accessible to a vast majority of people worldwide. Natural products with antiviral activity may contribute to improve the overall condition of SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals. In the present study, we investigated the antiviral activity of glycyrrhizin, the primary active ingredient of the licorice root, against SARS-CoV-2. We demonstrated that glycyrrhizin potently inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in vitro. Furthermore, we uncovered the underlying mechanism and showed that glycyrrhizin blocks the viral replication by inhibiting the viral main protease Mpro that is essential for viral replication. Our data indicate that the consumption of glycyrrhizin-containing products such as licorice root tea of black licorice may be of great benefit for SARS-CoV-2 infected people. Furthermore, glycyrrhizin is a good candidate for further investigation for clinical use to treat COVID-19 patients.

4/14/25.

Another Record Store Day come and gone. I landed one of my favorite records - Gorky's Zygotic Mynci "Barafundle". Almost as important, I learned about, bought and have listened incessantly to today's post - Licorice Roots "Licorice Root Orchestra".

I had never heard of this band, but liked the cover and the hype sticker that likened this album to The Flaming Lips, Marc Bolan and early Elephant 6.

When I got home and listened, I was astounded. I would say that this tends more toward Elephant 6 than The Flaming Lips. But really, I immediately thought that Licorice Roots (Newark, Delaware) sound like Caleb Landry Jones if he was poppier and more consistent. I also think it sounds a bit like Cotton Mather. And finally, I wonder if Patrick Flegel has heard this - it does recall a bit of Cindy Lee.

This was reissued for Record Store Day by Riding Easy Records. The band initially went by the name Raymond Listen, and this album was recorded by Kramer and released by Shimmy Disc.
