Licorice root has a chemical, glycyrrhizin,
that blocks a component of testosterone and therefore may help prevent the
growth of prostate cancer. However, excessive amounts can lead to elevated blood
pressure. There are very few recipes using this herb but I did find this tea. 1 teaspoon of licorice root powder + 8 ounces of boiling water = a cup of healthiness. Sip and enjoy!
