Licorice or Mulethi, also known as “Sweet wood”,comes from the root of the licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza glabra )The sweet sap of the licorice root is sweeter than sugar. No wonder it is called ‘Iratti Madhuram’ [Double Sweet] in Malayalam.It is called asadhimadhuram (அதிமதுரம்) in Tamil, , yastimadhu (यस्टिमधु) in Sanskrit and Mulethi( मुलेठी) in Hindi.
The licorice is a rich source of coumarins, flavonoid, volatile oils, glycosides, chalcones, plant sterols, anethole, and glycyrrhizic acid.
One of the most potent and active compounds of licorice root extract is glabridin . It has skin lightening properties and prevents the production of the enzyme tyrosinase , which makes the skin go dark after exposure to the sun. Licorice powder is also very useful in improving skin texture and color.
You can prepare a face mask by mixing turmeric powder and Fuller’s earth with licorice powder. Apply the pack to your face and allow it to dry. Rinse off the face pack with normal water. You can add a few drops of coconut oil, olive oil or almond oil to it to keep the skin hydrated.
As per anecdotal evidence, regular use of licorice may help fade blemishes and dark spots.
