Famous for its delicious distinctive flavor, licorice is essential in innumerable candy, confection and beverage recipes and makes an estimable liquer. It is also a traditional herbal remedy with an ancient history and world wide usage. Modern research has shown it to have effects upon, amongst other organs, the endocrine system and liver. As an anti-hepatotoxic licorice tea is helpful in the treatment of chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis, for which it is been widely used in Japan. Much of the liver orientated research has focused upon the triterpene glycyrrhizin. This inhibits hepatocyte injury caused by carbon tetrachloride, benzene hexachloride and PCB. Antibody production is enhanced by glycyrrhizin, possibly through the production of interleukin. Glycyrrhizin inhibits the growth of several DNA and RNA viruses, inactivating Herpes simplex virus particles irreversibly. It has a variety of uses in bronchial problems such as catarrh, bronchitis and coughs in general. Liquorice is used in allopathic medicine as a treatment for peptic ulceration, a similar use to its herbal use in gastritis and ulcers. It can be used in the relief of abdominal colic. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': The action of Liquorice is demulcent, moderately pectoral and emollient. It is a popular and well-known remedy for coughs, consumption and chest complaints generally, notably bronchitis, and is an ingredient in almost all popular cough medicines on account of its valuable soothing properties. The Extract enters into the composition of cough lozenges and pastilles, with sedatives and expectorants. It is largely used in conjunction with infusion of linseed in the treatment of irritable cough, sore throat and laryngitis, and an infusion made by boiling 1 OZ. of the bruised root deprived of its bark, with 1 pint of water for a few minutes, may be employed in the treatment of sore throat and in catarrhal conditions of the urinary intestinal tracts. The powdered root is useful in pill-making on account of its absorbent qualities, being used to impart stiffness to pill masses and to prevent the adhesion of pills

All our Bazaar of India products are delivered fresh to you direct from Bazaar of India – at their price.

Bazaar of India quality begins in the fields, where only the finest herbs and raw materials are selected. The company's global sourcing of raw materials ensures that the highest quality products are chosen from each harvest season. Most of our herbs are organically grown. Since India does not have such an organic certification system, they can not certify them as organic, however most of our herbs are wild crafted and are not sprayed with any pesticides or insecticides.

Contrary to popular belief, all herbs from India are NOT irradiated, including ours. Because of our high quality packing techniques and cleaning procedures, there is not need for the authorities to irradiate our herbs.

After harvesting, these materials are shipped to the 7,000 sq. ft. Bazaar of India manufacturing facility in Berkeley, CA where they are subjected to a series of in-depth quality control tests to ensure purity, potency and cleanliness.

All incoming raw materials are thoroughly tested before they are released for use in Bazaar of India’s products. Quality checks continue throughout the various stages of manufacturing, as well as at the completion of production.

We perform extensive Bacteria testing, Mold and Yeast testing, E. coli testing, and Salmonella testing.

We also test herb quality using Organoleptic ID testing, Microscopy, & Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC).

Foreign materials are tested using high temperature ash testing. We do not hesitate to reject inferior herbs, thus ensuring consistent high quality.
