Ivy leaf - for bronchitis and cough, Hedera helix

Ivy leaf

Hedera helix L.

Also known as Common ivy or Hedera helix, it is a climbing evergreen that can thrive in low light. Many people like the plant because it stays green all year round and makes an attractive ground cover for ornamental gardens.

You might be surprised to learn that ivy can be used for medicinal purposes. Potential benefits of ivy include air purification, treatment of respiratory problems (asthma, bronchitis, COPD), hepatobiliary disorders, rheumatism and gout. Applied externally for corns, purulent wounds, warts, burns, hair loss, white discharge.

It is rich in polyphenols or plant compounds called saponins and flavonoids. These compounds provide numerous potential benefits, most notably being powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds.

Alone or in combination with the herbs primrose and thyme, ivy can offer some relief from coughs resulting from upper respiratory tract infections and colds. A study notes that ivy leaves offer comparable benefits to acetylcysteine, a powerful antioxidant.

Ivy also appears to activate the beta2-adrenergic signaling system in the body, which triggers the release of epinephrine. Epinephrine, among its many effects, is also a bronchodilator - meaning it widens the bronchi and bronchioles (structures in the lungs), allowing for increased airflow and resp. makes breathing easier.
