It soothes
and heals the throat
and stomach. You have to keep it in the fridge. I had severe
acid reflux until I realized I was totally gluten intolerant (can develop with age) as are a few of the women in my family. I totally cut out gluten in my diet - wheat, soy sauce, barley, rye, graham flour, bread, tortillas, biscuits, pancakes, licorice whips, wheat cereals, etc. - it's in an awful lot of stuff. It helps immensely. I get a relapse if I begin to cheat.
