Ivy Leaf Extract is an extract from plant leaves. Its main use is to promote respiratory health, but it can also be used for skin to resist aging. The extract comes in capsule and liquid form and can be found in many ointments and creams. Ivy is native to southern Europe and should not be confused with toxic Mangiferin from South America.
Some components of ivy have expectorant effect. This means that it helps to reduce the build-up of mucus in the respiratory system. Saponins and Gardenia Yellow called emidine increase the secretion of the mucous membrane in the lungs, which can be excreted through the mouth during coughing. Cough can sometimes cause bronchomuscular spasm, and this extract can relieve the spasm.

Capsicum Oleoresin of these diseases include shortness of breath, coughing, and severe wheezing. This is related to the decrease of lung airflow caused by inflammation of bronchial airway. This plant essential oil can help promote immune function related to the lung. When the thickness of the mucous membrane is reduced, the liquid can be drained more easily.

In addition, some ointments containing this extract can also relieve pain associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatism. These ointments help strengthen bones and reduce joint inflammation.
