Licorice Root hits the sweet spot for both flavor and nutritional power. This herbaceous legume is a common sweetener in baked goods, candy, and liqueurs. It's also a star in traditional Chinese medicine, and has been used for centuries for digestion support.*
The licorice plant, Glycyrrhiza glabra, is a member of the Fabaceae family that is native to Western Asia and Southern Europe. Its medicinal use dates back to Egypt, and it’s one of the most popular plants in traditional Chinese, Middle Eastern, and Greek medicines.
With its sweet and slightly woody flavor, Licorice Root is a well-loved addition to confections and liqueurs.

Melanie’s Health & Nutrition really began with Auminay Naturals which was formerly SkinTastic Creations. This product line took root over twenty years ago as Melanie faced cancer. After becoming aware of alternative therapies she worked to change to a healthier lifestyle and learn about herbs. She developed what is now the Auminay Naturals product line by eventually learning to infuse these herbs into products that used natural ingredients to provide skin care products for a healthier lifestyle. In 2017, as a newly certified Master Herbalist, Melanie opened Melanie’s Health & Nutrition to provide a resource for the Tooele community. The Auminay products are now made in the back section of the store. Melanie and her staff love to serve the community and provide opportunities for learning, as well as products that empower people to be healthier.
