Potential benefits of Ivy leaf extract

Some of the potential benefits of ivy leaf extract include its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action, as well as its effects on upper respiratory conditions.

Ivy leaf extract is rich in polyphenols, or plant compounds, called saponins and flavonoids. These compounds provide a host of potential benefits.

Alone or in combination with the herbs primrose and thyme, ivy may offer some relief for cough in upper respiratory infections and colds.

Ivy leaf extract for cough may be particularly useful for children, since many health professionals recommend limiting traditional cough medication use in young children.

One study noted that ivy leaf offered comparable benefits to acetylcysteine, a powerful antioxidant.

About two-thirds of parents said that they were very satisfied with the therapeutic effect of the ivy leaf on their child’s cough.

Regardless, one large review of trials reported that, while ivy leaf extract was safe to use for cough, its effects were minimal.

Ivy leaf extract effects on the lungs and in cough prevention may be related to its anti-inflammatory action.
