Yes, licorice can raise blood pressure due to its active compound, glycyrrhizin, which can lead to increased cortisol levels and sodium retention while causing potassium depletion. This effect can result in hypertension, particularly when consumed in large amounts or over extended periods. Individuals with pre-existing high blood pressure or those taking certain medications should be cautious with licorice consumption.

Can high blood pressure be cured?

Yes, but it should be monitored even if it appears to be "cured." Stress and diet are two of the non-genetic instigators of high blood pressure. Both can be improved by working with a doctor on life style changes such as reducing salt intake, eating healthier, exercising and avoiding things like coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, and stress, things that are known to exacerbate high blood pressure. There are also many herbs one who has high blood pressure should avoid. Licorice for example can elevate blood pressure levels. Certain medications are of concern as well. Get tested regularly, get on a healthy program, if your doctor recommends blood pressure lowering medication take them, and stay informed.
