It produces rizoma (underground stem) of which are arising buds constantly. In rizoma a root is born that more or less sinks a handspan in the ground, which ramifica in thin raicillas which they can reach a meter of length, of very sweet flavor. Around the aerial stem the leaves, compound are arranged of between nine and nineteen folíolos (subdivisions that seem whole leaves), but in number uneven, since they are arranged by pairs, always faced, and one in the end, of bitter flavor, on the contrary that the root. The flowers are developed in an ear, in the end of pedúnculo that is born in the armpits of the leaves, of pale blue color or lila. The fruit is a vegetable that contains 4 seeds at the most. One also knows like orozuz and handle.

LOCATION: Although twelve distributed species of regaliz in the five continents exist, the medicinal regaliz is an own plant of the Mediterranean region, whose first references date from old Egypt. It lives in humid zones, next to the rivers, lakes or pools, in argillaceous earth. It is possible to be cultivated planting trocitos of rizoma that, after three years,

MEDICINAL PROPERTIES: The regaliz is béquico (active against the cough), reduces bronchial secretions and collaborates in the treatment of slight bronchitis. Ever since the Egyptians began to use it until does only half century, therapeutic activity was attributed to him solely on the respiratory apparatus, but recent studies made towards 1950 demonstrated that the regaliz also has an important capacity to cure the stomach ulcers.

It can be warmed up slightly. It is necessary to watch the children, because regaliz chewing it clears the desire to eat. If it is taken in excess, can increase the tension arterial. Many pharmaceutical products include the extract of regaliz in their formulas. Also one is like additive in the English beer denominated "to porter"

The denomination orozuz, common in the Castilian America of speech, comes from the Arab arug-alsus, that means roots of regaliz. The scientific name is formed by the words greiegas glukus sweet and rhizon root, that is to say, sweet root; glabra talks about the pilosidad absence.
