Hello, my name is Dr. Susan Jewell, and on behalf of Expert Village, today I'm going
to talk to you about the subject of how to find ways to alleviate the symptoms of colds
and flus. Now in this clip, I want to recommend to you another alternative way of dealing
with some of the symptoms of colds and flu, and that's to take licorice. Licorice is found
to have properties that soothe the soreness of the throat and the scratchy, itchy feeling
when you have some colds and flus. It also has an anesthetizing effect which helps calm
some of the pain that you get from colds and flus. It calms, like I said, irritation and
it relieves cough. So, it's another way to be able to deal with some of these symptoms
with colds and flus is to eat licorice. And licorice can be obtained at the store in a
variety of forms. Either in licorice sticks that you can bite, the licorice candy that
most kids love to eat or you can buy it in a powdered form where you can add it into
your cooking dishes or your drinks. So, licorice drinks that you could purchase, too, in many
stores.
