Throat raw from screaming? Gut clenched all week? Simmer a small piece of dried licorice root in water, low and slow, ten minutes. Sip it warm. It coats and calms—a demulcent, an old friend to sore throats and sour stomachs alike.
One catch, because I love you: real licorice raises blood pressure. Keep it occasional. Skip it if you're pregnant or carry heart, kidney, or blood-pressure trouble.
Medicine is medicine precisely because it isn't nothing.
