What is the Marathi name of Mulethi, and what are its benefits in Ayurveda? - #12248

I recently came across Mulethi (Licorice root) and learned that it is widely used in Ayurveda for various health benefits, especially for cough, digestion, and immunity. However, I realized that different Ayurvedic herbs have different names in regional languages, and I want to know what is the Marathi name of Mulethi. Since Ayurveda is deeply rooted in India, I assume that Mulethi has a commonly known name in Marathi households and traditional medicine. Does anyone know what it is called locally? Also, is there any difference in how Mulethi is used in Maharashtrian Ayurveda compared to how it is used in other parts of India? One of the most common uses of Mulethi is for sore throat and dry cough. Many people recommend chewing Mulethi sticks or drinking Mulethi tea to soothe the throat. I often get throat irritation, especially during season changes, and I want to know if using Mulethi regularly can help prevent throat infections. Also, is it better to take Mulethi in powder form, as a decoction, or as a lozenge? Apart from throat health, I have also read that Mulethi supports digestion and helps in treating acidity and gastric problems. I sometimes suffer from acid reflux and bloating, and I want to know if Mulethi can be taken daily to reduce acidity. What is the best way to consume it for digestive health? Should it be taken before meals, after meals, or on an empty stomach? I also heard that Mulethi is beneficial for immunity. Some Ayurvedic formulations include Mulethi as an ingredient to boost the immune system and fight infections. If that is true, how often should it be taken for long-term immunity benefits? Also, does Mulethi need to be combined with other herbs like Amla or Ashwagandha for better effects? Another thing I want to know is if Mulethi helps in reducing stress and improving mental clarity. Some sources say that it is adaptogenic, meaning it helps the body cope with stress. Does this mean it can be useful for reducing anxiety and improving focus? If so, what’s the best way to take it for stress relief? Additionally, I am curious about whether Mulethi is used for skin and hair health. Some beauty products include licorice extract for brightening skin and reducing pigmentation. Has anyone used Mulethi topically for skincare? Also, does consuming Mulethi help in reducing hair fall and improving scalp health? Finally, I want to understand whether Mulethi has any side effects or restrictions. I read that consuming too much Mulethi can raise blood pressure and cause water retention. Should people with high BP or kidney issues avoid Mulethi? Also, is it safe for pregnant women and children? If anyone has used Mulethi for throat health, digestion, immunity, or skincare, I would love to hear your experience. How did you use it, and what benefits did you notice? Thanks in advance!
