Glycyrrhiza lepidota
A North American licorice used by Native American tribes for coughs, fever, and as a food source.
Glycyrrhiza lepidota, known as American licorice, is a North American herb traditionally used by Indigenous peoples for coughs, fever, and as a nutritive food. Its primary active compounds include glycyrrhizin, liquiritin, and flavonoids, which contribute to anti-inflammatory and respiratory-supporting effects. Modern evidence is limited (Level C), but it is used similarly to Glycyrrhiza glabra for soothing mucous membranes and reducing inflammation.
Glycyrrhizin inhibits 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2, potentiating cortisol's mineralocorticoid effects, which may contribute to anti-inflammatory activity but also to hypertension with excess use. Flavonoids such as liquiritin exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects via inhibition of NF-κB and COX-2 pathways. Additionally, glycyrrhizin has been shown to inhibit viral replication and enhance interferon production, supporting its traditional use for respiratory infections.
