I-Licorice (impande ye-licorice) itiye ngokuvamile isetshenziselwa ukwelapha izimo ezihlukahlukene, kusukela ekungagayeni ukudla kuya emkhuhlaneni ojwayelekile. Impande ye-Licorice iqukethe isakhi esisebenzayo se-biologically ebizwa ngokuthi i-glycyrrhizin, engaba nemiphumela emihle nengathandeki emzimbeni. Itiye lezimpande ze-Licorice akufanele lisetshenziswe isikhathi eside ngoba lingabangela imiphumela emibi, futhi akunconywa ukuyithatha kanye nemithi. Itiye elinjalo akufanele lidliwe yizingane ezincane nezinsana.
Okunye ukusetshenziswa okubanzi kwetiye le-licorice ukudambisa ukungagayeki kahle kanye nesilungulela. Kungaba futhi ukwelashwa okuphumelelayo kwezilonda ze-peptic. Ngokocwaningo olwenziwa eNyuvesi yaseMaryland Medical Center, izimpande ze-licorice zikhiphe ngokuphelele noma ngokwengxenye izilonda ze-peptic kumaphesenti angama-90 ababambiqhaza.
Ngokusho kweNational Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, abantu abaningi bakhetha ukwelashwa kwemvelo kwetiye lezimpande ze-licorice ukuze kukhululeke umphimbo obuhlungu. Izingane ezinesisindo esingaphezu kuka-23 kg zingaphuza izinkomishi eziyi-13 zetiye kathathu ngosuku ngenxa yomphimbo obuhlungu.
Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ukucindezeleka “kungaguga” izindlala ze-adrenal ngesidingo esiqhubekayo sokukhiqiza i-adrenaline ne-cortisol. Ngetiye le-licorice, izindlala ze-adrenal zingathola ukwesekwa ezikudingayo. Ukukhishwa kwe-Licorice kukhuthaza amazinga anempilo e-cortisol emzimbeni ngokuvuselela nokulinganisa izindlala ze-adrenal.
Ukweqisa ngokweqile noma ukusetshenziswa ngokweqile kwetiye lezimpande ze-licorice kungaholela emazingeni aphansi e-potassium emzimbeni, okuholela ebuthakathakeni bemisipha. Lesi simo sibizwa ngokuthi "hypokalemia". Ezifundweni ezenziwe ezifundweni eziphuze itiye ngokweqile amasonto amabili, ukugcinwa koketshezi kanye nokuphazamiseka kwe-metabolic kwaphawulwa. Eminye imiphumela emibi ihlanganisa umfutho wegazi ophakeme kanye nokushaya kwenhliziyo okungajwayelekile. Abesifazane abakhulelwe nabancelisayo bayelulekwa ukuba bagweme ukuphuza itiye le-licorice.
