Licorice can help with indigestion. You can eat licorice root or take it in the form of a supplement. Licorice can soothe the stomach and reduce inflammation caused by excessive stomach acid. If you have ulcers or acid reflux, licorice may be a useful tool in reducing the pain associated with these conditions. Research has shown that the supplement form of licorice can increase mucus production in the stomach, helping protect it from excessive amounts of acid.
