*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Ulcer and abdominal pain may sound synonymous, but everyone knows that the former is a serious condition. Unless you seek medical help you will never be able to confirm if the pain you are experiencing is just an indication of hunger or indigestion. DGL licorice has been reported to alleviate the pain and heal ulcerations, including canker sores in the mouth.

Historical Uses

Licorice has long been known to cure ulcers and other ailments of the digestive system. Over the centuries its positive effects on people with abdominal pains have been documented in the East, and it remains a well recognized herb in most Asian nations. It is of special note in the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, and China, where it is one of the few herbs considered as a cure-all for known diseases.

Traditional preparations involve the use of the root of the plant, which is indigenous to southern Europe and Asia. It was noted that Alexander the Great, having learned from traditional medicine commonly practiced by his Persian subjects, made use of licorice root to nourish his troops during lengthy marches. The root was believed to be responsible for alleviating shortness of breath and sallow appearance due to fatigue.

Peptic Ulcers

Lesions on surfaces of the human body that are characterized by the visible loss of tissue as in an open sore are identified as ulcers. Today there is a lower prevalence of peptic ulcers caused by bacteria than decades ago since we have become more conscious of our source of food. In spite of that, incidence of ulcers related to the gastrointestinal tract has never dwindled.

Scarring of the surfaces of the alimentary canal has something to do with how your body copes with your day-to-day activities, and stress is now known as one of the causes of the appearance of ulcers in the human body. In fact, there is strong evidence that chronic stress increases the risk of developing ulcers as shown by a number of studies.

Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice

In studies that involve the use of DGL licorice, the incidence of ulcer breakouts among patients was significantly reduced in two years. DGL, or Deglycyrrhizinated, licorice was developed from licorice for the sole purpose of improving digestive conditions, gastric and duodenal ulcers in particular. DGL licorice is produced by separating the licorice extract from the compound called glycyrrhizin tied to certain side effects. Clinical trials yielded promising results that include the healing of stress ulcers and aphthous ulcers, or canker sores.

DGL licorice has shown a variety of mechanisms that lead to the removal of ulcers. It inhibits the propagation of the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, the primary cause of duodenal ulcers. The formation of gastric ulcers results from the decrease of mucus and the increase of acidity in the stomach, both of which are effectively reversed by sufficient intake of DGL licorice. Also, stress-related hormones that are associated with the breakout of ulcers in the body are stopped from being released with DGL licorice.

If you suffer from ulcers or stomach acid related problems, give DGL licorice a try.
