Mulethi or licorice powder is one of the most popular ingredients used in ayurveda to treat certain ailments.

 

In India, it is a common ingredient found in every household and often given to someone to chew on if they have a sore throat or nasal congestion. This traditional herb is the answer to obesity, respiratory problems, gastric issues, skin infections, joint pain, and more.

 

In Ayurveda, this root powder is called Yashtimadhu, and it is derived from the stem of licorice. Slightly yellow in colour, with a strong odour, it is rich in calcium, glycyrrhizin acid, antioxidants, antibiotics, and protein.

 

Skin Care benefits of Licorice

 

1. Prevents sun damage

Licorice powder also contains UV blocking enzymes that protect skin and prevent sun damage.

 

2. Brightens skin

Topical application of licorice powder to the affected area naturally treats hyperpigmentation, giving your skin a smooth and brighter look.

 

3. Fades scars

Scars caused by acne or injuries can take a long time to heal. Mulethi powder helps speed up the process by evening out skin tone and minimising the appearance of scars. Topical application of mulethi powder is recommended to those with scars.

 

4. Treats wrinkles

The antioxidants in licorice powder block free radicals from harming the skin, thus protecting it from premature ageing.

 

Hair care benefits of licorice

 

1. Prevents hair fall

Licorice powder promotes blood circulation in the scalp and nourishes the roots by supplying vital nutrients to the hair follicles. This helps arrest hair fall as well as condition the hair, adding a healthy shine to it.

 

2. Cures dandruff

The antibacterial properties in mulethi powder curb dandruff and other scalp infections cause itching on the scalp.

 

3. Promotes hair growth

If you feel like your hair growth has become stagnant, you are not alone. It could be a result of stress, poor hair care habits, or an unhealthy diet. But if you can get your hands on licorice powder, there’s no harm in using it to promote blood and oxygen supply to the hair, which helps promote hair growth.

 

4. Prevents premature greying

Ayurveda strongly suggests that consuming and applying liquorice powder to the hair can prevent premature greying. The wide range of antioxidants and nutrients in this natural ingredient will give you your best hair yet.

 

Apart from the above-mentioned benefits, licorice helps ease upper respiratory infections, treat ulcers, aids digestion, and weight loss. It is also effective against tooth decay and cavities and can be used in toothpowders.
