Licorice Root: Potent Fertility Plant Medicine

Dalene Barton - Certified Herbalist, Birth Doula
July 22, 2021

When we hear the word licorice, candy, not fertility comes to mind. Did you know that the same plant made to flavor black licorice candy in the old days is also an excellent herb for a variety of fertility problems? Well it is! In fact, it positively supports key body systems that directly affect the quality of our fertility health. Licorice rt. (Glycyrrhiza glabra) has been shown to be powerful in healing and protecting body systems vital to maintaining healthy fertility. Licorice is potent plant medicine!

Liver Health

The compound glycyrrhizic acid, found in root of the licorice plant, has been shown to be hepatoprotective. This simply means it protects the liver from damaging substances, including damage from pesticides, herbicides, pharmaceutical medications, alcohol and more.

Why is liver health important for fertility? Well , we need the liver to function at its best to maintain hormonal balance. The liver is our chemical processing plant. So you can imagine what must go on in there. The liver removes hormones, drugs, and other biologically active molecules from the blood. If there are too many excess toxins and hormones overwhelming the liver, they may be stored up, not only in the liver, but other parts of our body. This may disrupt our hormonal balance. Maintaining liver health is vital for proper hormonal balance.

Glycyrrhizic acid is so powerful that studies have shown it to inhibit liver damage and protect the body from three main toxic chemicals that are known endocrine disruptors.

  • Carbon tetrachloride: known to be damaging to the entire reproductive system, central nervous system, liver and kidneys
  • Benzene hexachloride: known to damage and affect thyroid health
  • Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB): known to affect estrogen, androgens, and Thyroid hormones

Licorice has been researched in Japan and has been found to be extremely useful in healing cirrhosis and hepatitis liver damage as well. Licorice is a potent plant medicine for the liver.

Immune and Endocrine System Function

Licorice is an adaptogen. For an herb to be classified as an adaptogen, it must support endocrine system function. This herb is also an immunomodulator, which means it supports proper immune system function. Licorice has been shown to stimulate the immune system in people with chronic illness or it can reduce the excessive immune response seen in those people with autoimmune disorders.

It is often used to treat autoimmune disorders. It has the ability to reduce an excessive immune response. In people with immunological fertility problems, their body identifies part of reproductive function as an enemy and sends Natural Killer (NK) cells to attack. A healthy immune response would only identify an enemy correctly and attack only foreign invaders such as a virus, parasite, bacteria, etc.

Fertility Issues associated with autoimmune disorders:

  • Premature Ovarian Failure
  • Endometriosis
  • Antisperm antibodies, both in men and women
  • Recurrent miscarriage
  • Thrombophilia, a blood clotting disorder

It provides excellent hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA axis, part of the endocrine system) support. This makes it an excellent choice for stress-related infertility or hormonal imbalance issues of any kind, including absent periods due to stress, poor egg health, poor sperm health, and any type of hormonal imbalance.

Estrogenic Action

Licorice is a known phytoestrogen because it contains isoflavones. Phytoestrogens are not true estrogen, but they may have a similar action to our own endogenous estrogens. Phytoestrogens exert weaker estrogenic effects on cells, compared to our own endogenous estrogens or to xenoestrogens. Phytoestrogens compete for hormone receptor sites. Phytoestrogens compete for hormone receptor sites. If they bind to the estrogen receptor sites first, they actively block xenohormones from binding. Xenohormones are endocrine system disruptors and cause hormonal imbalance and may cause infertility.

Will Licorice rt. increase my estrogen levels? Will it make me become estrogen dominant? Will it make my estrogen dominance worse? Probably not. You would have to consume very large doses of this plant for it to increase your estrogen levels through its isoflavone content. Taking licorice at very high doses can be toxic, so avoid taking large amounts of this herb.

Licorice rt. packs a double whammy of positive hormone-balancing benefits.

1. It is a phytoestrogen, which protects our estrogen receptor sites from xenohormones. This helps to protect our body from endocrine disruptors, which are known to cause fertility problems.

2. It is an adaptogen that supports liver health, endocrine and immune system function, which supports hormonal balance overall!

Anti-inflammatory

When the body metabolizes the glycyrrhizic acid, the result is a molecule similar to that of adrenal cortex hormones known as Glucocorticoids. In this case, the Glucocorticoid is cortisol. Cortisol has an anti-inflammatory effect in the body. This is thought to the same reason for licorice’s anti-inflammatory action. Reduction in inflammation reduces painful fertility issues.

Fertility issues where inflammation is present:

  • Endometriosis
  • Ovarian cysts
  • Uterine Fibroids
  • Dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation)
  • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
  • Adenomyosis

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) often uses equal parts of Licorice rt. with White Peony (Paeonia lactiflora) for the treatment of dysmenorrhea. Several studies showed that peony, when combined with licorice rt. in equal parts, greatly reduced painful menstruation by preventing prostaglandin production. The conclusion of this finding shows that this blend’s action plays a key role in reducing primary dysmenorrhea, but also is very helpful in treating the underlying causes of secondary dysmenorrhea. This blend has also been shown to lower serum and free testosterone levels in women with PCOS.

Balance Blood Sugar Levels

This cortisol-like effect that licorice root has, has also been shown to support healthy blood sugar levels, especially when taken first thing in the morning. This may be helpful for women with insulin resistant PCOS.

Digestion and Cervical Mucus Production

Licorice is emollient, demulcent, and nutritive. These actions support healthy mucous membranes and enhance their function, including those that secrete cervical mucus. Cervical mucus is necessary for the sperm to reach the egg.

These actions that licorice rt. has also support healthy digestion by lubricating and the digestive tract and enhancing digestion overall. We know digestion is the foundation for health; licorice rt. helps to support that. Licorice rt. has been used traditionally for hundreds of years and is considered to be the most prescribed herb of all time. It has been extremely effective in healing ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, gastritis, and colic.

Antiviral

This root is extremely effective at treating the STDs genital herpes and warts. Studies have shown that licorice rt. can irreversibly inactivate herpes simplex virus. It has also been shown to inhibit the growth of several DNA and RNA viruses. This herb has been used for millennia to treat and prevent a variety of viruses, including the common cold and flu.

Licorice rt. and Hypertension: What’s All the Hype?

I guarantee if you do search on the internet for this herb, you are going to get a barrage of warnings of how it is dangerous or may be toxic. Well, let us be realistic here. Licorice is possibly the most commonly used traditional herbal medicine on the planet. It has been used safely for hundreds, possibly thousands of years. So why all the scary information? Licorice rt. in excess can cause hyperaldosteronism. What? This is a condition in which a person retains sodium, loses potassium, and develops high blood pressure. This can only happen when it is used excessively.

How much is too much? Well licorice-induced hyperaldosteronism has been reported after people have eaten excessive amounts of candies made with real licorice extract, or chewing tobacco with licorice extract, or have drank 4+ cups of licorice decoction (strong tea made by boiling the roots) per day, over a few days. An herbalist or naturopath would never suggest a person take Licorice rt. this way.

Traditional Suggested Usage

Tincture: 10-20 drops, 3 times a day

Decoction: 1/2 tsp of dried root to 8oz. of water. Steep for 10-15 minutes. Strain. Drink 1-2 times per day.

We feel Licorice rt. is best used in combination with other herbs, rather than by itself alone. Licorice root blends well with a variety of herbs.

Drug Interactions

Please do not use Licorice therapeutically if you are taking any of the following medications:

  • Potassium-depleting diuretics
  • Digoxin
  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
  • Spironolactone
  • Cardiac glycosides
  • Thiazide
  • Amiloride

Pregnancy caution: Not recommended for regular consumption in pregnancy, as it may increase the risk of premature labor.

Breastfeeding: Shown to be safe for consumption while breastfeeding.

This is the supplement used in the study ⤵️

This antioxidant not only showed a 50% increase of success rates in IVF’s it also:

- Improved egg quality
- Stopped DNA oxidation
- Created more egg follicles
- Increased sperm health & motility
- Higher fertilization rate
- Better embryo development

This is beneficial for anyone over 35 ttc. Even if you aren’t doing an IVF. 

The antioxidant is ✨ Ubiquinol✨ .

For best results I like to stack fertility antioxidants. So we not only use Ubiquinol in our egg health program, we also include 5 additional antioxidants that have been shown to provide incredible support for egg health. 

These antioxidants are: 

💎 PQQ (pyrroloquinoline-quinine)
PQQ is an antioxidant known for its cell-protective qualities. It’s particularly good at reducing oxidative stress & the aging effects on cells, enhancing ovarian function and egg quality.

💎 NAC (N-acetylcysteine)
NAC plays a significant role in supporting embryo quality. It provides a defense against oxidative stress. 

💎 L Glutathione
L Glutathione is known for its ability to guard against oxidative stress. It also supports the detoxification processes in the ovaries.

💎 ALA (alpha lipoic acid)
ALA, supports egg quality, fertilization rates, and embryo development. It works by enhancing the quality of the oocytes. 

💎 Selenium
Selenium is an essential mineral. It plays a key role in protecting against oxidative stress. It’s known to improve oocyte production and increase follicle count. Selenium also supports glutathione production, an antioxidant critical for reproductive health.

How to use antioxidants for egg health ⬇️

The key to getting results with antioxidants is to have them circulating in the body continuously. They are not stored by the body and are “spent” when they protect the egg cells against free radicals. This requires daily supplementation. That is why I formulated OvaWise Antioxidants to provide all key 5 antioxidants in one supplement. You can take OvaWise all month long & use them in conjunction with other herbs & supplements.

This is one of the main causes of fertility issues....

Exposure to excessive hormones from our environment.

Yep. These compounds, known as ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS, are causing hormonal imbalances which are negatively affecting our ability to ovulate.

They also negatively affect EGG health and sperm count.

♻️ These environmental factors include plastics (with BPA being one of the most commonly known), body care and hair care products, household cleaners, and even fragrance candles.

 🛀 These environmental factors cause us to have repeated micro exposure to xenoestrogens on a daily basis, without even knowing it.

These xenoestrogens mimic estrogen in the body but in a potent way, causing a hormonal imbalance which can contribute to the growth of uterine fibroids, endometriosis, heavy periods, and painful periods – all of these are linked to excess of estrogen within the body.

So, how do we deal with this? First, we cleanse and detoxify the body.

By supporting the body’s natural ability to eliminate these compounds and excess hormones, we can significantly alleviate the hormonal imbalance.

 👉 This can be done with The Fertility Cleanse Kit. 

Next, we need to eliminate the triggers from our lifestyle. This includes switching out products that contain phthalates, parabens, and endocrine disruptors for natural alternatives.

❗This includes everything from hair care, skincare, body care, household cleaners, to laundry and dish detergent. 

Thank goodness companies are responding to the need for “clean products” and creating effective and healthier alternatives. 

 🥦 Finally, nourishing ourselves with supportive foods is important for fertility and overall health. Consuming a diet rich in whole-foods provides our body with necessary vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids.

Eating a balanced diet consisting of organic vegetables, legumes, nuts/seeds, and healthy fats can provide the support needed to keep hormone levels balanced.

The only advice the Dr gave me was to wait and see...

My fertility journey started out of pure frustration. 

And from that day forward a fire was lit and has been roaring ever since. 

You see, I was miscarrying and all the doctor gave me as a solution was.... to wait and see. 

I bet you know all too well how this feels.

Maybe it wasn’t a pregnancy loss, but was a lack of diagnosis, or a lack of empathy. Or even a lack of believing you when you say something doesn’t seem right. 

That is why I never want you to feel like I did that day. 

That’s why I show up here everyday to share with you everything I know... EVERY WAY I know to support your fertility. 

If you have ever felt LET DOWN AND ALONE along your fertility journey, know that you have options. Know there ARE things you can do to impact your reproductive health. 

If you are ready to take an empowered path to pregnancy. One with options and action. Let me know.

There is no need to “wait and see”...

You can improve your fertility with natural therapies and lifestyle changes.

Here are the top 5 most important things to do. 

✨ Clear detoxification pathways - The time while you are preparing for conception is one of the most important times to create a healthy body in preparation for pregnancy. Fertility cleansing is a way to support the body in preparation for conception by cleansing the uterus and liver.

Through the use of herbs, The Fertility Cleanse encourages the liver to cleanse the body of toxins and excess hormones from the body while increasing circulation to the uterus.

✨ Nourish your eggs - As we age and live our lives throughout the years, our eggs are being exposed to the environment within our body.

High oxidative stress, nutritional deficiency, and lack of circulation all impact the health of our egg cells over time.

✨ Increase circulation to your reproductive system - What does this mean exactly? It means lots of benefits for egg health and uterine lining.

Some great ways to increase circulation to the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries is through Self Fertility Massage and Womb Care Castor Oil Packs. 

✨ Know your fertile window - knowing WHEN or IF you are ovulating will be very important to getting pregnant sooner than later. There are many tools you can use to confirm this.

I personally like fertility charting because it not only pinpoints ovulation but can also give you feedback on other areas of your fertility such as progesterone or thyroid health.  

✨ Reduce stress and create a “receptive” uterine lining - I know, I know, being told to “relax” while ttc can make you grind your teeth, there is major benefits to reducing cortisol levels while ttc.

Consistently high cortisol can prevent ovulation, and that is a no go around here. Exercising, yoga, meditation and tonic herbs (hello Fertility Superfoods) are my favorite ways to nurture my nervous system. Try different things out and find your b l i s s.

This is the key to egg health...

In the past, a common belief was that the only factor which determines ovarian and egg health was age.

There are many factors that can have an impact on the health of the ovaries and eggs including environmental factors, hormones in the diet, and stress, just to name a few.

💎 Egg health is one of the cornerstones of healthy fertility. The health of your eggs (ova) can affect whether or not fertilization and implantation will occur as well as the viability of a pregnancy.

💎 Age has an impact on egg health as the ovaries continued to age, causing the “housing” for the eggs as well as the environment in the body affecting egg cell health.

💎 Protecting the eggs you currently have as well as encouraging ovarian health through diet, herbs, supplements, and increased circulation to the reproductive system is of the utmost importance.

Egg health is one of the cornerstones of healthy fertility.

The health of your eggs (ova) can affect whether or not fertilization and implantation will occur as well as the viability of a pregnancy.

During the cycle of an egg’s journey towards ovulation, there is a window of opportunity, a period of time, when certain factors can affect the health of the eggs that are preparing for ovulation. ⏳

This journey takes about 90 days.

The steps you take today will impact the health of your eggs 3 MONTHS from now.

That is why I talk so much about taking a MINIMUM of 90 days to prepare for pregnancy or IVF/IUI.

🙂 Good News! There are steps you can take to help support the health of your eggs.

Here are 5 areas to focus on for improving egg health: 

➡️ Detoxification 
➡️ Nutrition
➡️ Antioxidant therapy
➡️ Increasing circulation & reducing inflammation
➡️ Hormone health

📌 Type EGG in the comments below and I will send you my 90 Day Egg Health Checklist which goes into depth each of the steps you need to take to support egg health.

Hormone Health + Uterine Health = Fertility ⤵️

As an herbalist, I find that cleansing is one of the most effective natural therapies I use. 

✨ The body is constantly working to eliminate the old to make space for the new. 

By incorporating cleansing herbs to support this natural function, you can accelerate the benefits and enhance overall health.

When it comes to reproductive health, the advantages of cleansing are particularly significant.
 
This is the recipe for healthy fertility:

📌Hormone Health + Uterine Health

Fertility cleansing specifically targets these two crucial aspects, ensuring that your body is in the best possible condition for conception.

Why Cleansing Works:

🌿 Supports Natural Detoxification: Cleansing herbs assist the liver and other detox organs in removing toxins more efficiently.

🌿 Balances Hormones: By eliminating endocrine disruptors and excess hormones, cleansing helps to restore hormonal balance.

🌿Enhances Uterine Health: Cleansing helps to clear out old, stagnant blood and tissue, preparing the uterus for a healthy lining and successful implantation.

Fertility Cleansing focuses on these key areas to provide a comprehensive approach to reproductive health. 

By supporting your body’s natural processes, you can create an optimal environment for conception and a healthy pregnancy.

That is why this is one of the first steps of my Natural Fertility Formula. 

✨✨If you are ready to start supporting your hormone health and fertility thie Fertility Cleanse Kit is a great place to start.

Do you have a plan?

It can be overwhelming trying to figure out where to start.

Here is what I want you to know…

👏 You can have an impact on your own reproductive health. I call it self-health care and have seen results day in and out of women transforming their hormonal health, periods and fertility issues through the use of natural therapies. 

✨ You need support and encouragement. Having others in your space (even if it is online) who support you and encourage you is important. Read our success stories when you need motivation.

✨You need to take action. Nothing is going to change if things don’t change. The steps are simple, I can teach you those.

Consistency is the “secret”. Many of us get stuck in the information gathering stage but never take action. I know that won’t be you 😉

✨Shifts in reproductive health take time. The body works at its own pace. Coming back into balance can take multiple cycles. Have realistic expectations and patience with yourself. In the long run 3-6 months isn’t very long. 

✨Nutrition is underrated. Foods are just as much the solution as the cause. Make nutrition part of your fertility plans no matter what. You don’t have to be perfect but be on purpose. 

✨Age ≠ fertility. If you are over 35 your probably feeling the pressure of “age” impacting your fertility. It’s not actually about age. What is important are 2 things. Ovulation and Egg Health. Focusing on these two areas will take you 10x farther than worrying about age. 

✨Know thy body. One of the most important tools that I teach is how to read the feedback your body is giving you about your reproductive health.If you can understand your body’s signs - you will have clarity on what to focus in on. 

✨You need to commit to a plan and follow through. The results of the ‘Formula’ are pretty predictable. It is the accumulation of 17 years of supporting women with natural therapies put into an easy to use guide & checklist.

Plant Foods to Embrace:

🥦 Cruciferous Vegetables

Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, kale, and cauliflower are not only nutrient-dense but also contain compounds such as indole-3-carbinol, which has been shown to support hormonal balance and may alleviate period pain.

A study in the Journal of Nutrition highlighted that these vegetables could modulate estrogen metabolism, potentially reducing the risk of estrogen-related conditions.

🌶 Iron-Rich Foods

Leafy greens and legumes are pivotal for replenishing iron lost during menstruation, especially important for those experiencing heavy bleeding. The non-heme iron found in plant foods, while not as readily absorbed as heme iron from animal products, can still significantly contribute to iron levels when consumed with vitamin C-rich foods to enhance absorption.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that vegetarians who consume a variety of plant foods are not at any greater risk of iron deficiency than non-vegetarians.

It`s a myth that plant-based diets cannot provide enough iron; foods like lentils, chickpeas, and spinach are excellent sources.

🌰 Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids, found in flaxseeds and walnuts, are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce menstrual cramps. A study in the Journal of Reproductive Health suggested that omega-3 supplementation could lessen menstrual pain. Incorporating these into a plant-based diet can offer a natural approach to managing period discomfort.

🌾 Whole Grains

Quinoa, brown rice, and oats are not only filling but also provide B vitamins and fiber, aiding in digestion and hormonal regulation. Whole grains can help stabilize blood sugar levels, which is crucial for maintaining hormonal balance.

The fiber in whole grains also plays a role in binding excess hormones and removing them from the body, as indicated in research from the Journal of Nutrition.

Fertility Myths about ovulation

👉🏽 Myth #1: Period = ovulation 

Fact: Regular periods can occur without ovulation. A period is the uterine lining shedding, not the loss of the egg. 

👉🏽 Myth #2: Positive OPK test guarantees ovulation 

Fact: Ovulation tests detect the LH surge, indicating your body is preparing to ovulate, but they do not confirm that ovulation has occurred. Confirming ovulation typically requires tracking basal body temperature or hormone levels.

 
👉🏽 Myth #3: You can only get pregnant on the day you ovulate 

Fact: The fertile window can be up to 6 days, including the days leading up to and the day of ovulation, due to sperm’s ability to survive in the female reproductive tract for several days.

👉🏽 Myth #4: Having s3x everyday increases your chances of pregnancy

Fact: While regular intercourse is important, having sex every day can decrease sperm quality. It’s more effective to have sex every 2-3 days during the fertile window.

👉🏽 Myth #5: You always ovulate on day 14 of your cycle

Fact: Ovulation can vary widely among women and even from cycle to cycle. It typically occurs 10-16 days before the start of the next period.

How to know IF and WHEN you are ovulating. ⤵️

Track your basal body temperature daily. 

▶️ Measure first thing in the morning.
▶️ Use an app, chart, or digital tool.
▶️ Look for patterns: lower temps before ovulation, higher after.

What your chart says about your fertility:

✔️ BBT tracking can confirm ovulation. - A sustained rise in temperature typically indicates ovulation, crucial for timing intercourse for conception.

✔️Once you start charting, you’ll see patterns. Lower temperatures before ovulation and higher ones after. The day your temperature spikes is likely the day after you’ve ovulated.

Use your body’s feedback to support your reproductive health. The Natural Fertility Formula teaches these tools in detail and gives you the foundation to improve YOUR fertility.

You are THE expert on your own body. Let’s listen to what it is telling you and get started today.
