Linkadge, I found some info that might help you

Posted by KaraS on August 8, 2004, at 16:43:21

Ironically, I was searching for info on Perika when I found another board where Larry posts or used to post. Here is what he had to say which might help you with your tremors:

"Licorice root helps to regulate hyper-responsivity of the HPA axis (hypthalamus/pituitary/adrenal). The startle response and tremor are associated with diminishing sensitivity to cortisol-feedback. Licorice root blocks a liver enzyme that breaks down cortisol, tricking the hypothalamus into thinking the adrenals are doing a fine job. The adrenals get a rest, and stop being so "twitchy" in response to stimuli. Take licorice root for no more than 3-4 weeks, then stop again."


Here's the address if you're interested though it doesn't have much more than that on this topic and there's a lot of other garbage on the page to sort through:

Have you ever tried licorice? Probably couldn't hurt though I don't know what else you're taking now. It might be worth checking into it to make sure that it's not contraindicated with anything else you're taking.
