Yep. I keep it on hand and use moderate amounts in my juice drinks to help my seasonal allergies; I also read it had antiviral properties and took it to combat my coof infection.

Most so-called licorice candies should actually be called anise candies, since that’s what they’re flavored with, and they have no licorice root in them.
