RE: Liquorice Root Tea - Liquid Gold & Not Remotely Black
I’d like to suggest this to my dad who successful fought off lung cancer two years ago. However he also has high blood pressure. Should he drink it?
It does elevate blood pressure. If the congestion is severe and the liquorice root is used together with a natural blood pressure lowering herb, then probably OK. Cos it's a magnificent decongestant and has been the basis of cough-cold formulations for eons. But needs thought and caution.
The person I suggested it for this week is stage 4 lung cancer and probably high blood pressure is among the lesser of his concerns. If the congestion is acute (which is extremely painful and can be life threatening for people with lung cancer) this tea is literally liquid gold.
Belated thank you
