ABSTRACT
There is no doubt that a few researchers have contributed to discovering secret medicinal possibilities in ayurvedic medicine, but there are still many plants that require extensive research. A variety of herbal remedies are used in the treatment of ayurveda herbs for the treatment of dementia, and recent studies indicate that they have memory-enhancing properties. Nowadays, liquorice is the most widely used commercial flowering plant herb. It is also used in cuisine, candy, nicotine goods, cough syrups, and snuff flavors. The different functional processes that liquorice and its related chemicals exhibit are responsible for their diverse pharmacological activities, and liquorice's beneficial properties can be linked to several different processes. Liquorice is a plant scientifically known as Glycyrrhiza glabra. The roots and rhizomes of Glycyrrhiza glabra are thought to be an excellent brain tonic because they improve the circulation of the CNS system and blood sugar levels. Glycyrrhiza glabra is a common herb derived from the family Fabaceae (also known as Leguminosae), native to Eurasia, North Africa, and Western Asia. Several compounds found in this plant, which include glycyrrhizin, glycyrrhizinic acid, isoliquiritin, and glycyrrhizic acid, have been identified as neurological, anti-cancer, anti-atherogenic, anti-diabetic, anti-asthmatic, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, antispasmodic, Hepatoprotective , immunologic components. They have anti-depressants, sedatives, and anticoagulant properties, as well as the ability to increase hair growth and control weight. This article reviews the latest research on phytochemical and pharmacological data, as well as liquorice and its adverse effects on its bioactive and toxic components.
