Licorice root has a long history in herbal medicine, often used to ease respiratory and throat conditions.
This herb has properties that may soothe the throat, reduce cough, and help lessen the pain that comes with strep throat.
Brew licorice root tea by steeping the root in boiling water, or use a pre-made tea bag for convenience.
Sipping licorice tea slowly allows for prolonged contact with the throat, maximizing its soothing potential.
While effective, licorice root should be used judiciously, as excessive consumption can lead to adverse effects, particularly in individuals with certain medical conditions. (8)
