About the product
Researchers identified high concentrations of substances called glycosidic saponins in the ivy leaf, which helps to explain the herb’s effectiveness for cough. Specifically, saponins are compounds that can help clear cough and congestion; they are bitter-tasting and just irritating enough to trigger a cough that aids in removing mucus from the lungs, throat, and other areas. This kind of remedy is called an “expectorant.”Ivy leaf was long thought to be effective in treating vein-related circulation disorders such as varicose veins, and for relieving related symptoms such as aching and a sensation of heaviness in the legs. However, recent findings indicate that ivy leaf is ineffective for these types of disorders.
