so topical licorice/liquorice is an option?
Although in some studies it seems to be an interesting substance, it could help to grow hair on the head or remove hair from the body, however, I do not understand exactly how it works and could produce some pretty serious side effects, and from this reason, I am reluctant to test it.
Common side effects of licorice include:
Absence of a menstrual period
Congestive heart failure
Decreased sexual interest (libido)
Erectile dysfunction
Excess fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema)
Fluid and sodium retention
Headache
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Hypertensive encephalopathy
Hypokalemic myopathy
Lethargy
Low potassium levels (hypokalemia)
Mineralocorticoid effects
Muscle wasting
Myoglobinuria
Occasionally brain damage in otherwise healthy people
Paralysis (quadriplegia)
Swelling (edema)
Tiredness
Weakness
