Ayurvedic system of medicine. The herb is used as anti inflammatory
herbal medicine, anti ulcer medicines, and anti-microbial
activities. Yashtimadhu contains Glycyrrhetinic acid and
Glycyrrhizin carbenoxolone that have anti-inflammatory, anti ulcer

significant and complex organs that are essential for life.
