Glycyrrhiza glabra is found in the northwestern regions of China, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Iran, and Iraq. While Mongolia, Central Asia, and the northeastern and northwest regions of China are home to Glycyrrhiza-Uralensis, located in southern India and Jammu & Kashmir, India. Glycyrrhiza glabra belongs to the Fabaceae family and has been valued for its ethnopharmacological properties since ancient times. Warm, subtropical, and temperate climates are ideal for licorice growth. Numerous phytochemicals, including glabrin A and B, isoflavones, glycyrrhizin, 18-B-glycyrrhetinic acid, and others, are present in this plant.
