Sweet Scythian Root

Licorice (or peavine) is one of the most ancient medicinal plants known to man. Chinese medicine has used the licorice root since the third millennium B.C. and still values it, along with the legendary ginseng. The licorice root was applied successfully by the ancient Indian, Japanese, and Tibetan healers, as well as by the medical practitioners of ancient Greece. They used to dig licorice roots within the territories of the present-day Central Asia and Kazakhstan, in the flood-lands of the Amu- Darya River and the Ural River, in the south of Russia, and in China.
