> "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."
