Guest guest Posted August 12, 2002 Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 Many health food stores and bulk herb places carry licorice root. Typically you can get it either in powder form or in chunks.

You will generally find it listed as " glychirizza extract " . On Sun, 11 Aug 2002 21:35:59 -0000 iris054 <clicker wrote: > > Oh, goody!
