Hi Cindy,

I don't know of US product names, but you can order Whole Licorice extract

from a bulk supplier.

Here are instructions of how to mix it:

Only use for 6 weeks at a time and then take a 2 week break.

You can use hydrocortisone cream 1% during this break. Use 1 tablespoon and

rotate the site of application daily.

There are other supplements that are helpful with adrenal recovery also:

Most notably Adrenal Cortex. This is an essential supplement.

DGL licorice is used for stomach ulcers. DO not know about lungs.
