I have been taking one capsule of ground liquorice root every day for the last two months, and for the second time now, my period has caught me by surprise. Normally I always know it's coming because of the eye-splitting headaches I get before it comes.

Have I found the cure?!

WHy on earth does it work..?

That is really useful to know, thanks. Can you TASTE it though, or is it flavourless cos I hate liquorice!

thanks, i'll try this.

No it's just ground into a powder in a see thru capsule. I went into the health shop about two months ago and said "is there anything I can do for my pMt headaches, besides taking half a packet of nurofen everymonth?"

She instantly said, liquorice root. 9 euro please. I was sceptical. But I have to say, it has worked.

You can't taste it no.

Try it! I want to know if it's just me.
