Licorice can elevate blood pressure. I wouldn't try to use it from a candy source. You can check into iherb on line and vitacost etc and look at the reviews. I was using DGL for digestive issues and just keeping me in better health but got off it as I was in rehabs for knee issue for almost 5 months. DGL is deglycerrized licorice. Does not mess with BP.

Research grape seed extract and COPD.
