The plant is native to Western Asia, North Africa, the Mediterranean region, and Southern Europe, and it has been naturalised in many parts of the world, including the sub‑Himalayan tracts of India and Pakistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plant is a herbaceous perennial, reaching a height of about 1 metre, with pinnate leaves and purple to pale whitish‑blue flowers. The part of the plant used medicinally is the root and stolon, which are harvested in the autumn, two to three years after planting. The roots contain a complex mixture of over 300 bioactive compounds, including triterpenes (like glycyrrhizin), flavonoids (like glabridin, licochalcone, and liquiritin), coumarins, polysaccharides, and volatile oils. The powder has a characteristic sweet taste, with a slightly earthy, aromatic flavour. Our Mulethi powder is 100% pure, made from the dried roots without any additives, preservatives, or fillers. It is free from gluten, non‑GMO, and vegan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNutritionally, 100g of licorice powder provides approximately 312 calories, 11g of protein, 62g of carbohydrates (of which only 3g is sugar), 0.5g of fat, and 0.5mg of sodium. It is a rich source of iron, calcium, and magnesium, and contains significant amounts of B‑vitamins. However, it is the high concentration of bioactive phytochemicals that gives Mulethi its remarkable therapeutic properties. The powder is versatile and can be used in many ways – taken orally as a tea or mixed with honey, applied topically as a face mask or hair pack, or added to cooking as a natural sweetener and flavour enhancer. Whether you are treating a sore throat, healing a stomach ulcer, brightening your skin, or strengthening your hair, Mulethi is one of the most powerful and time‑tested herbs available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- History --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA 5,000‑Year Legacy: The History of Mulethi\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe history of Mulethi is a story that spans over 5,000 years and three continents. The earliest written records of licorice root use come from the ancient civilisations of Assyria, Egypt, China, and India. Licorice was found in the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun (c. 1,323 BCE), where it was placed alongside other precious herbs and spices to accompany him into the afterlife. The Assyrian tablets from around the same period mention the use of licorice for medicinal purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn India, Mulethi (known in Sanskrit as Yashtimadhu, meaning “sweet root”) has been a cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine for over 5,000 years. It is classified as a “Rasayana” – a herb that promotes longevity, rejuvenation, and overall vitality. The Charaka Samhita and the Sushruta Samhita, the foundational texts of Ayurveda, describe licorice as having a sweet taste (Rasa), heavy and unctuous properties (Guna), a cooling potency (Veerya), and a sweet post‑digestive effect (Vipaka). It is said to pacify both Vata and Pitta doshas, making it one of the most versatile herbs in the Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia. In Unani medicine, which flourished in South Asia during the Mughal era, licorice was used as a demulcent, expectorant, and laxative. It was a common ingredient in “Jawarish” (digestive electuaries) and “Laooq” (soothing throat lozenges).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of licorice spread to Europe through the ancient Silk Road and became a staple of traditional European herbalism. In medieval Europe, it was used to treat coughs, colds, and stomach ailments. Today, licorice is cultivated in many countries, with major producers including Iran, Afghanistan, China, Pakistan, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Turkey. India, a major importer of licorice, imports over 8,000 tonnes annually from Afghanistan, China, and Nepal. In Pakistan, Mulethi is a common household remedy, kept in every kitchen. A small piece of the root is chewed for a sore throat, or the powder is added to tea for a natural sweetener and to ease breathing. From the tombs of the pharaohs to the kitchens of Lahore, Mulethi has truly stood the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- INTEGRATED TAGS SECTION (SEO ENRICHED) --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spices-tags-replacement\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tags-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tag-card\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tag-title\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e🏷️\u003c\/span\u003eTraditional Names \u0026amp; Languages (South Asia)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tag-content\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"lang-badge-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇵🇰🇮🇳 Urdu \/ Hindi: ملیٹھی (Mulethi) \/ ملھٹھی (Mulathi) \/ جیٹھی مدھو (Jethimadhu) \/ یشٹی مدھو (Yashtimadhu)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇮🇳 Sanskrit: यष्टीमधु (Yashtimadhu) \/ मधुयष्टि (Madhuyashti) \/ क्लीतका (Kleetaka)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇮🇳 Bengali: যষ্টিমধু (Joshtimodhu) \/ মুলেঠি (Mulethi)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇮🇳 Punjabi: ਮੁਲੇਠੀ (Mulethi) \/ ਜੇਠੀ ਮਧੁ (Jethi Madhu)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇮🇳 Gujarati: જેઠીમધ (Jethimadh) \/ મુલેઠી (Mulethi)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇮🇳 Marathi: ज्येष्ठमध (Jyeshthamadh) \/ मुलेठी (Mulethi)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇮🇳 Tamil: அதிமதுரம் (Athimadhuram)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇮🇳 Telugu: అతిమధురం (Athimadhuram)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇮🇳 Kannada: ಅತಿಮಧುರ (Athimadhura) \/ ಜೇಷ್ಠಮಧು (Jyeshthamadhu)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇮🇳 Malayalam: ഇരട്ടിമധുരം (Irattimadhuram)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇮🇷 Persian: شیرین بیان (Shirin Bayan) \/ مهلخ (Mahlakh)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇦🇪 Arabic: عرق السوس (Irq al‑Sous) \/ عسله (Aslah)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tag-card\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tag-title\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e🌐\u003c\/span\u003eGlobal Names \u0026amp; Botanical Classification\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tag-content\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"lang-badge-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇬🇧 English: Licorice Powder \/ Liquorice Root \/ Sweet Root\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🌿 Botanical Name: Glycyrrhiza glabra L.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🌸 Family: Fabaceae (Legume family)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇪🇸 Spanish: Regaliz \/ Palo dulce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇫🇷 French: Réglisse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇩🇪 German: Süßholzwurzel \/ Lakritze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇮🇹 Italian: Liquirizia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇨🇳 Chinese: 甘草 (Gān cǎo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇯🇵 Japanese: カンゾウ (Kanzō)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"lang-badge\"\u003e🇷🇺 Russian: Лакрица (Lakritsa) \/ Солодка (Solodka)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tag-card\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tag-title\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e📜\u003c\/span\u003eKey Health \u0026amp; Nutritional Benefits\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tag-content\"\u003e✔ Respiratory Health \u0026amp; Sore Throat Relief: Mulethi’s expectorant and demulcent properties help thin mucus, soothe irritated throat membranes, and relieve coughs, colds, bronchitis, and asthma.

It begins in the ancient world, where licorice root was so highly valued that it was placed in the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun (c. 1,323 BCE) to accompany him on his journey to the afterlife. The Assyrian tablets from the same period list licorice as a remedy for coughs and digestive ailments. In India, licorice has been a cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine for over 5,000 years. The Charaka Samhita, written around 300 BCE, describes Yashtimadhu as one of the most important rejuvenating herbs. In China, licorice (Gan Cao) has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 3,000 years, and it is one of the most frequently prescribed herbs in the TCM formulary. The word “Gan Cao” means “sweet herb”, a reference to its flavour. The use of licorice spread to Europe through the ancient Silk Road, where it was adopted by Greek and Roman physicians. The Greek physician Dioscorides, writing in the 1st century CE, described licorice as a treatment for asthma, coughs, and stomach ulcers. In the Islamic Golden Age, scholars like Avicenna (Ibn Sina) wrote about the benefits of licorice. In Pakistan, Mulethi has been a staple of household remedies for generations. A small piece of the root is chewed for a sore throat, the powder is added to tea for a natural sweetener, and the paste is used as a face mask. It is the “go‑to” remedy for a persistent cough and the secret to a clear, glowing complexion. From the tomb of a pharaoh to the spice box of a Pakistani mother, Mulethi has truly stood the test of time.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"brand-line\"\u003e✨ Spices.pk – Authenticity you can trust.
