The roots and rhizomes of Glycyrrhiza glabra (Family: Leguminosae) have been used in traditional medicine and ayurveda for hundreds of years as a medicinal drug, antiulcer, and antimicrobial. Liquorice or licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) may be a perennial plant that is classified as a weed in wheat fields, cucurbit and vegetable gardens, cotton, potato, sugar beetroot and fodder. Its medicinal drug and inhibitor properties are also positively correlated with the improvement of memory. This review not only describes and explains the plant's typical use but also highlights its potential applications in the cosmetic or pharmaceutical industries as well as its medicinal properties, such as antitussive, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, and anticancer.
