Guest guest Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 Licorice shouldn't be used for more than 3 weeks straight. So for most Chinese herb formulas... 3 weeks on, 1 week off. This keeps the adrenals from getting " lazy " . People have survived complete adrenal failure on licorice tea alone. Your patient's blood pressure should return to normal within 3-7 days, but gan cao should generally not be used with hypertension. David ************************* David Leonard, L.Ac.
