For more than 5,000 years, the Turkmen people have been using liquorice root as a medicine in the fight against various ailments. This miracle plant is first mentioned in ancient Chinese treatises and in the writings of the great Abu Ali ibn Sina, known in Europe as Avicenna. He emphasised that “the cure for diseases grows in the homeland.”

Other prominent scientists of the past also wrote their scientific works about liquorice that has received unconditional recognition and have been used in Western and Eastern culture as a medicinal plant for several millennia.
