Guest guest Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 Not particularly. Babies could choke on the chunks, for one thing. I have also noticed that it tends to deteriorate the gums if used too long. And, of course, there is the laxative effect if too much is used, which could result in dehydration in babies. Licorice root for babies should be used only sparingly as a tincture, generally either for constipation or for serious particulate-induced lung problems. And then, move away from the source of pollution!
