Does anyone have a reference on licorice and breastfeeding?  I have a
question from a patient with CFIDS (chronic fatigue immune deficience
syndrome).  Licorice (powder form of the extract, not the candy) has been
known to raise blood pressure and this is a natural remedy being recommended
right now.  This mother is bfing a 14 month old and wants to be sure it
won't harm him.

TIA!
