Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Thanks for the additional info - I pay attention to all the information, even if I don't always listen! I won't be taking it long enough for it to cause most of the problems mentioned below - it's just a boost for a day or two when I increase my Armour dose....and if it doesn't work, I'll have to get my doctor to test adrenals and maybe prescribe something.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 The licorice tea I bought at a mideastern market has the shredded root in kind of like a tea bag -- really more like a sachet. The box recommends putting it into a cup of cold water for a few minutes and then pouring over ice. I tried it hot and didn't like it, but this stuff isn't too bad cold. I've just been drinking it a couple times a week -- I don't seem to have adrenal problems.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Judy, I'll have to check if we even have a market around here that sells it that way. I'm in Maine, near Portland, but don't know of any place there. Probably the closest would be in Boston....Anybody in Maine? Is there a mideastern market in Portland?
