Licorice

Licorice, derived from the root of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant, primarily grows in the Mediterranean region and parts of Asia. The plant has a sweet taste, which is up to 50 times stronger than that of sugar. Traditionally, licorice is used in herbal medicine and as a flavoring in various foods and beverages, such as candy and tea.

For dogs, licorice can be a natural source of relief for digestive issues and may help support the respiratory system. In chickens, it is sometimes used to promote overall health and reduce stress. It can contribute to better nutrient absorption and improved immunity.

Horses can also benefit from licorice, especially during times of stress or recovery periods. The root can be added to their diet to support digestion and enhance well-being. However, it is important to use licorice in moderation, as excessive intake can have negative effects.
