Over many centuries, the Turkmen people have been using the plants to restore and improve their health. Their healing properties have become known through the centuries-old expertise and observations of our ancestors. President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov described in detail the natural resources of our country in 12 volumes of the encyclopaedia Medicinal Plants of Turkmenistan. One of them is liquorice, buyan in Turkmen.

The Turkmen leader pays great attention to using medicinal plants, in particular the therapeutic and prophylactic effect of medicines from liquorice root, in modern medicine. The national leader calls upon health professionals to take a science-based approach to using medicinal plants, including those that grow in the territory of the country and deserve in-depth research. Particularly now, when scientists in all countries are using effective means of combating the new dangerous infection and conducting numerous studies. The leader of the nation believes liquorice root to be one of them.
