The Indian Chai: Traditional Profile
Mulethi, commonly known as licorice and referred to as Yashtimadhu in Ayurveda, appears frequently in Indian medicinal systems, home remedies and folk practices. Ayurvedic texts describe mulethi as having anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities. It contains a naturally sweet compound and a saponin glycoside — constituents that give licorice its pronounced sweetness, reported to be 30 to 50 times that of sugar, with a lingering sweet sensation on the palate.
