Digestive & Throat Care

Liquorice · Mulethi

Glycyrrhiza glabra

Mulethi is a naturally sweet Ayurvedic root used in digestive and throat-care preparations.

Medicinal & Wellness Uses

  • Digestive tradition: Used in Ayurvedic preparations for digestive comfort.
  • Throat-care tradition: Widely used in traditional preparations for throat comfort, separate from its role in our granules.

Standalone Use vs. Formulated Use

Using the Herb Alone

Ordinary liquorice and glycyrrhizin-removed DGL extracts differ. Taking extra root or tea alongside a blend adds to the total intake.

How Our Formulation Combines Ingredients

Mulethi complements the fruits and spices in the complete digestive granules. Its labelled amount is part of the whole recipe; it is not described as DGL.

READING THIS GUIDE

The source.
The preparation.

Plant photographs show a botanical source. The root, leaf, fruit, oil or extract on a product label may differ from the part photographed. Mineral photographs show the raw source material, not a processed bhasma or pishti.

Blends and formulation helpers use labelled illustrations. Where a name or identity needs confirmation, the guide says so. Ingredient descriptions are educational; use preparations as directed by a qualified physician.
