Using licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) as a topical treatment for vaginal dysbiosis

Liquorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) has many demonstrated activities that benefit the vagina topically, including as an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and steroidal.

The steroidal action is similar to the effect of hydrocortisone, which can help to calm and soothe cells, while the other active constituents can act on the microbial issues in vaginal dysbiosis.

When the vagina is battling with an infection or overgrowth of the wrong sorts of bacteria, inflammation can be the natural result. This inflammation may appear as itching, soreness, rawness or unusual discharge. Liquorice root extract can soothe the vaginal mucosa in several ways, reducing itching and discomfort.

Liquorice root has been demonstrated effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative microbes.

  • Actinomyces viscosus
  • Aspergillus niger
  • Bacillus subtilis
  • Enterococcus faecalis
  • Escherichia coli
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa
  • Staphylococcus aureus
  • Streptococcus mutans
  • Streptococcus sanguis

Liquorice root has also demonstrated antiviral activity and can put a damper on some viral replication, possibly reducing the impact of a viral outbreak or reducing the risk of initial infection (HIV, HPV, herpes, etc.).
