Licorice? Lycoris is a common misspelling of licorice.

Licorice is available as a dietary supplement, even though it is most commonly known for its use in candies, foods, and beverages (although these products contain little or no licorice root). The supplement appears to provide numerous benefits; it may lower cholesterol and may work for treating ulcers, heartburn, and indigestion. However, licorice could also cause dangerous side effects, including high blood pressure, low blood potassium, and muscle damage.
