It was mentioned in the article " herbs for adrenals " with licorice but stated no side affects, unlike the licorice. I also take an Adrenal support supplement now which has adrenal(bovine source), pituitary, and Parotid concentrate along with vit. C, many B's, and a few others. After blood testing, I found out my pituitary is way off the charts, along with ovaries and some other endocrine organ, along with a change in thyroid meds... again. Dr. feels its the domino effect as they are connected. I'm just glad I don't have any more endocrine glands... ; ) I was very ill from this adrenal issue, near exhaustion and one step from the hospital. I knew that med. I.V. cortisone or something like that and there was no way. I had already started my supplements and seemed like I was heading down hill any farther, then I sought out a chiropractor who has been doing atlas correction and cold laser. I went last week for a massage too... like heaven. I told her what the problem was and she used various ess. oils and the next day I noticed a definite difference. I'm feeling ALOT better since my supplements and all else. I know its not an overnight recovery but I'm on my way. I believe I read that alot of licorice candy is artificially flavored. That can't be good. I would buy your next bag of licorice from a health food store.. read the label, look natural ingred. Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2001 Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 Yes it does. But there is another kind of liquorice that removed those bad effects from the herb. I don't know what it is called, I think Donna knows. Donna? Liz D - Gettingwell 11/19/01 8:00:27 PM Re: licorice Doesnt licorice also cause problems for people with high blood pressure?

Enjoy! > Terri Hmm...I bought a box of licorice from the health food store that touted natural ingredients (made by Panda) and then compared the ingredients to a regular bag of licorice, and they were exactly the same! So YMMV! :/ -- Mindy ----------------------- " ...that they may be one... " - Jesus, John 17:22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
