Health Benefits

Today, ivy leaf is mostly used therapeutically to relieve symptoms that affect the respiratory system – in particular coughs and catarrh (inflammation of the nose and throat with increased production of mucus). But, a deeper knowledge of this plants allows us to make use of its other potent benefits:

Respiratory health

Anti-inflammatory Effects

Body detox

Skin Care

Cancer prevention

Antibacterial Properties

Respiratory health

Ivy leaves are most commonly used to eliminate respiratory tract congestion and inflammation. They act as an expectorant and can break up the phlegm and mucus in the bronchial system.
By eliminating these breeding grounds for pathogens and bacteria, you can improve your overall health and reduce your healing time from illness. This also makes ivy leaves an effective remedy for allergic reactions, bronchitis, coughs and asthma, as they reduce the inflammation of those passages.

Ivy is one of those rare, gentle yet potent herbs that is proven to be safe for children.

Anti-inflammatory Effects

One of the most well-known benefits of using ivy, particularly English Ivy, is for inflammation issues in the body.

If you suffer from arthritis, gout, or rheumatism, you can either consume it in the form of tea, extract, or apply the leaves directly to the spot of inflammation. For people who experience discomfort and pain from an injury or surgery, topical application is recommended. This can heal internal inflammation as well, which has a variety of other benefits for the body.

Body detox

Early studies showed a link between liver and gallbladder function and the use of ivy leaves; it helps the organs function better and release toxins from the body more effectively, thereby purifying the blood and reducing strain on these crucial systems.

Skin Care

For centuries, people have used ivy leaves to minimize the pain and infection of burns on the skin. This also works for any open sores or wounds, as the leaves have antibacterial properties, as well as the protective saponins. This can also help relieve the discomfort and irritation of psoriasis, eczema, acne, and other skin-related conditions.

Cancer prevention

Although research is still ongoing, the many properties of ivy leaves have already displayed suggest a significant antioxidant activity, which also means that they can prevent the spread or development of cancer. By eliminating free radicals and preventing mutation and apoptosis, ivy leaves can protect the body from a wide range of chronic diseases, including cancer.

Antibacterial Properties

In addition to its antibacterial properties, ivy also has certain anthelmintic and antiparasitic qualities, making it ideal for eliminating intestinal worms and lice. You can clear out your bowels by drinking the tea or extract, or apply it topically to the hair for getting rid of those uncomfortable, itching lice as well.

English ivy is a member of the ginseng family and has been used in traditional herbal medicine both in Europe and Asia since ancient times.

Ivy is the common name of an entire genus of plants called Hedera, which is primarily found throughout Europe, Asia, Northern Africa, and parts of the Pacific. There are approximately 15 species of ivy, which grow by crawling along the ground, until they reach a stable climbing surface, like a tree or a wall.

English ivy can thrive in cold and low light situations. which makes it loved by people all around the world for its all year round green leaves. It’s also popular as an ornament, especially during Christmas and winter seasons. This evergreen plant climbs up the side of trees and buildings, adding color wherever it goes.

Historically, English ivy was held in high esteem; its leaves formed the poet’s crown, as well as the wreath of Bacchus ( also known as Dionysus, the god of wine and intoxication). Ivy was probably dedicated to Bacchus because it was believed that binding the brow with ivy leaves would prevent intoxication.

Greek priests presented an ivy wreath to newly married couples, as a symbol of fidelity.

The plant was sacred to the Druids and considered the female counterpart to the masculine holly. Together with mistletoe and holly, ivy is a traditional herb used to decorate houses for the Christmas season.

Traditional folk medicine used English ivy internally for liver, spleen and gallbladder disorders, and for gout, arthritis, rheumatism and dysentery.
Externally it was used for burn wounds, calluses, cellulitis, inflammations, neuralgia, parasitic disorders, ulcers, rheumatic complaints and phlebitis.

English ivy is most widely used today as a natural treatment for respiratory tract congestion and the treatment of chronic inflammatory bronchial conditions.
