About Ivy and Thyme extract
Indications of Ivy and Thyme extract
Ivy and Thyme extract is indicated for:
Established traditional use
- Symptomatic relief of productive (chesty) cough associated with the common cold and mild, uncomplicated upper respiratory tract infections, by helping to loosen and clear bronchial mucus (expectorant/mucolytic-type action).
- Relief of cough accompanied by difficulty expectorating viscous mucus.
Strength of evidence
Clinical studies on ivy leaf extract, alone and combined with thyme extract, show moderate evidence for short-term symptomatic relief of cough frequency and severity. Ivy and Thyme extract is a traditional herbal remedy rather than a curative treatment, and it does not treat the underlying infection.
Not indicated for
- Chronic cough, cough lasting more than one week, or cough associated with high fever, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain, or blood-stained sputum, without prior medical evaluation.
