Used as a pairing herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine, licorice root, or Gan cao 甘草, is considered to be neutral in nature and is used in almost two-thirds of classical formulas in herb blending. The component of licorice root that seems to be the active healer is known as glycyrrhizic acid which gives licorice root its sweet taste.
