Liquorice
Liquorice, known as “Yashtimadhu” in Charak Samhita, is derived from the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra. It is renowned for its soothing, rejuvenating, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial in balancing Pitta and treating skin ailments. In the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, Yashtimadhu (Liquorice) is revered as a rasayana, a rejuvenating herb that pacifies Pitta and Vata doshas. It is known for its madhura rasa (sweet taste) and sheeta virya (cooling potency), which nourish and calm the body. Yashtimadhu is highly esteemed for its vrana ropana (wound-healing) properties, providing relief in various skin conditions like inflammation and burns. It is also used in keshya (hair care) for promoting hair growth and luster. Internally, it soothes digestive disorders, strengthens the respiratory system, and enhances overall vitality with its balya (strengthening) quality.
