Description:
Ivy extract is that is taken from the leaves of the evergreen plant known as ivy. It is mainly used to promote a healthy respiratory system, but it can also be applied to the skin as an anti-aging treatment. This extract is available in either a capsule or liquid form and it can be found in many types of cremes and ointments.The ivy plant is native to southern Europe and should not be confused with poison ivy that is found in North and South America.There are ingredients found in ivy extract that can make it an expectorant. This means that it can aid in the reduction of accumulated mucus found in the respiratory system.Saponins and an alkaloid called emetine, increase the secretion of mucus within the lungs. When coughing occurs, the mucus can be expelled through the mouth. Coughing can sometimes cause muscle spasms in the bronchial area and this extract can help soothe the spasms.
Ivy is most widely used today as a natural treatment for respiratory tract congestion. It is a respiratory catarrh used for symptomatic treatment of chronic inflammatory bronchial conditions. Ivy contains saponins which appear to be responsible for preventing spasms in the bronchial area. It has been found the ivy leaf extract helps to increase oxygen in the lungs, and is an effective anti-inflammatory for bronchial conditions such as asthma and bronchitis.
