	Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra L., Liquorice, Fabaceae) is a widely recognized medicinal herb in [[Ayurveda\|Ayurvedic medicine]] and modern phytotherapy, valued for its gastroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and hepatoprotective properties. Its bioactivity is primarily mediated by triterpenoid saponins, notably [[glycyrrhizin]], and prenylated flavonoids like [[glabridin]].		Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra L., Liquorice, Fabaceae) is a widely recognized medicinal herb in [[Ayurveda\|Ayurvedic medicine]] and modern phytotherapy, valued for its gastroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and hepatoprotective properties. Its bioactivity is primarily mediated by triterpenoid saponins, notably glycyrrhizin, and prenylated flavonoids like glabridin.
