After about two weeks on ginger, I feel like it causes too many mood changes and is probably best used off and on. As far as licorice root is concerned, I find that it helps me to sleep at night, but I haven't found any valid research on it for insomnia. Other herbs may work better for this purpose, but I'll say a small dose of licorice does help me to relax. I can't take more than 1/2 of a 450mg capsule, or else I tend to feel worse rather than better. So I can't say for sure that it helps with insomnia, but I think it's relaxing effect may help to ease you into sleep.
