My last not so tasty food is not one of my favorites it. It is Licorice. I'm not talking about the candy, which I don't like either. I'm talking about the herb. Licorice has a soothing effect on the mucous membranes in the throat and lungs.
Licorice has been used to treat a variety of problems from ulcers to athlete's foot. There is a caution with it, in that you should not use it on a long-term basis, but rather intermittently. No longer than 6 weeks in succession. Licorice should not be taken by pregnant women.
You can buy it as an herb and put it into teas as a sweetener.
