I've been chewing sugar free gum lately to have that something to chew on without breaking my fast effect but don't really like the idea of chemicals and to be honest I don't really like the taste of chewing gum.
Licorice root sounds like a good idea, I love the taste of licorice and I have low blood pressure so like the idea it might raise it a touch!
Any ideas where this can be purchased from, anyone?
