Licorice is a national treasure of Azerbaijan, since the species growing in our country are distinguished by a high content of glycyrrhizic acid (up to 24%), which makes them indispensable in the fight against viral infections. The COVID-19 pandemic shocked the whole world, claiming hundreds of thousands lives, since traditional medicines used in the fight against it, amid which antibiotics accounted for a large percentage, were ineffective. Later it turned out that the use of antibiotics led to a deterioration in the patients’condition and an increase in mortality in the population. All the errors of medicine have been the result of a narrow approach to the problem and a lack of recognition by some doctors and researchers of the value of herbal medicines. As a result of the preferential use in the early stages of the pandemic development exclusively drugs of chemical origin, it was practically impossible to save those who fell ill in the first outbreak of the disease, especially when complications occurred; and here folk medicine comes to the rescue. Medicines developed by Azerbaijani scientists based on licorice, a natural raw material with lymphotropic and antiviral action, prevent the virus from binding to the host cell membrane, inhibit the replication of the virus that has already entered the body, thus preventing the development and spread of the disease. The research proposed by Medical University laboratories of independent Azerbaijan in this area has helped save the lives of thousands of people both at home and in neighboring countries.The goal of this work is to disclose the importance and usefulness of licorice based medicinal syrups in the treatment of the Covid-19 infection
