Licorice root, also known as Gan Cao and Radix Glycyrrhizae, is one of well-known herbs primarily used as a harmonizer in Chinese herbal formulas. This herb has long been used as medicine in ancient China since 2,000 years ago, which was recorded in the oldest herbology classic of "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic" and listed as one of the superior drugs there. In addition, it was highly regarded as "the Teacher of Emperors" in the kingdom of herbs by Tao Hongjing, a famous physician in the Southern Dynasties (420-589). However, the most pertinent review about licorice comes from Li Shizhen, the writer of "Compendium of Materia Medica", in which he said:" Licorice herb, as the monarch drug in prescriptions, inhibits the toxicities from 72 minerals and 1,200 grass and trees. As a result, it is revered as the Emperor's Teacher for the credit of reconciling the rest herbs." Main chemical constituents of licorice root and rhizome are glycyrrhizin, which is the sylvite and calcium salt of glycyrrhizic acid. It also contains liquiritin, liquiritigenin, isoliquiritin, isoliquritigenin, neo-liquiritin, neoiso-liquiritin, and so on.
