Licorice or licorice root acts like steroids in the body but you have to be careful since it can increase blood pressure. I used it in the beginning for several months with great relief. I felt like my cells were getting support since they lacked something. Anyway, licorice was an ingredient in a product called Glutamed by NuMedica. Of course it’s not a prescription but not everything has to be prescribed to work. It is all trial & error since there is not much experience with OLP out there. There’s no real treatment & it’s frustrating to treat. I’ve been dealing with this for 8 years.
