The root of the licorice plant has a long history of use. It is called gan cao in Traditional Chinese Medicine. According to legend, the ancient Greek physician Dioscorides advised the military troops of Alexander the Great to chew licorice root to allay thirst when marching long distances and water was hard to find. In Medieval Europe, licorice root was so much in demand to mask odors associated with poor sanitation and the taste of spoiled food that its import was heavily taxed in order to provide funds to repair London Bridge.
