Just keep an eye out for the blood pressure thing with licorice. I didnt think it applied to tea but it may just might

Hey Ella is that why you dont hear many using licorice because of blood pressure thing? I was pretty interested in it because ir looks great on paper but kept seeing 'caution'.  Plus there was no real info out there re dosages for nbe use so i gave it a swerve...
I generally have low bp so i wonder if its such a concern?

Yeh I believe so Chrissy. And as you say dosage too. Most would likely take more thinking it's ok ya know.. 
I've just read this morning licorice is good at combatting bad bacteria so I'm really interested myself now but I'd need the whole food type not a supp.. 
but yeh general cautions are to take licorice short term only or DGL removed the component that affects blood pressure
