Respiratory Care Alcohol-FREE Herbal Liquid Extract, Licorice Dried Root, Red Ginseng Dried Root, Ginger Dried Root Glycerite
Respiratory Care Alcohol-Free Drops
This is an alcohol-free liquid extract (glycerite) of three roots extracted together in equal parts: the sweet root of the liquorice legume, the pungent ginger rhizome and the steamed root of Asian ginseng. Each is also sold on its own. It is a traditional herbal product, not for emergencies and not a replacement for any prescribed inhaler or medication - please read the safety information below before use.
- Liquorice, root - Glycyrrhiza glabra root (Fabaceae)
- Ginger, root - Zingiber officinale rhizome (Zingiberaceae)
- Red ginseng, root - Panax ginseng steamed root (Araliaceae)
- Extract type: Alcohol-free glycerite - liquid drops. Other ingredients: vegetable glycerin, purified water
- Origin: Responsibly sourced cultivated botanicals. Gluten free. Made in the USA.
What is in the blend
- Liquorice root - the long, woody root of a Mediterranean and West Asian legume, intensely sweet from glycyrrhizin. It is the real liquorice; many licorice candies contain none of it and are flavored with anise instead.
- Ginger root - the knobbly rhizome of a tropical plant of the ginger family, the same spice used fresh and dried in kitchens worldwide, pungent and warming.
- Red ginseng - the root of Asian ginseng, Panax ginseng, steamed and dried by the traditional Korean method that turns it reddish-brown. It is a different species from American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) of the eastern North American forests.
Why the alcohol-free drops
The three dried roots are extracted together in vegetable glycerin and purified water, so there is no ethanol in the bottle - the version to choose if you avoid alcohol. Glycerin adds to the natural sweetness of liquorice and rounds off the heat of ginger.
What is a glycerite?
A glycerite is a liquid herbal extract made with vegetable glycerin instead of alcohol. Glycerin is a clear, naturally sweet liquid from plant oils; it extracts and preserves the water-soluble parts of the herbs. Because glycerin is a weaker preservative than alcohol, keep the bottle refrigerated after opening. The glycerin and water percentages are printed on the label.
How to use
Shake well before use. Put the number of drops shown on the label into a little water, juice or tea and drink it, up to the frequency shown on the label. Do not exceed the label serving. Because of the liquorice, do not use this blend for more than four weeks at a time without talking to your practitioner, and take it earlier in the day because red ginseng can be stimulating. Refrigerate after opening and use within the period printed on the label.
Drops or tincture?
If you prefer the classic alcohol-based extract with the longest shelf life at room temperature, the same three-herb blend is available as Respiratory Care Tincture - the alcohol-based version. The herbs and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs.
Important safety information - please read before use
This blend contains liquorice root and is not for emergencies. Please read before use.

- Medicines: do not combine liquorice with diuretics, digoxin, corticosteroids or blood-pressure medication without your doctor.
