CAUTIONS: Licorice taken in excess or for a long period of time (over 3 consecutive months) may deplete potassium in the body and lower gastric secretions beyond the optimal limit. If using to improve gastrointestinal health we suggest using with Aloe Vera for no longer than 3 months and continue with Aloe Vera for maintenance. Licorice should not be taken simultaneously with potassium-depleting diuretics. It should also be avoided when taking digoxin based drugs.
