Eating licorice could reduce IBD symptoms

If you suffer from the distressing symptoms of IBD (irritable bowel disease), start chewing on some black licorice.

It contains glycyrrhizin, and it is a natural anti-inflammatory that reduces intestinal damage and cell death linked to IBD.

Researchers from the University of Tokyo tested more than 3,500 compounds in laboratory tests before discovering the healing powers of glycyrrhizin.
