Ivy extract is an extract obtained from the leaves of the plant. Its main use is to promote respiratory health, but it can also be used on the skin to resist aging. This extract is available 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 poison ivy in South America.

Some components of ivy have expectorant effects. This means that it helps reduce mucus accumulation in the respiratory system. Saponins and alkaloids called emetine increase the secretion of mucus in the lungs, which can be expelled from the mouth when coughing. Coughing sometimes causes spasms in the bronchial muscles, and this extract can relieve spasms.

Ivy extract is particularly beneficial for people with certain diseases such as asthma and bronchitis. Symptoms of these diseases include shortness of breath, coughing, and severe wheezing. This is related to inflammation of the bronchial airways, which reduces airflow in the lungs. This plant essential oil can help promote immune function related to the lungs. When the thickness of the mucus membrane is reduced, fluid can be discharged more easily.

Lotions or ointments containing ivy extract also have the effect of fighting wrinkles. It helps hydrate dry skin and reduce fine lines on the facial skin. In addition, some ointments containing this extract can relieve pain related to osteoarthritis and rheumatism. These ointments help strengthen bones and reduce joint inflammation. If the skin is inflamed, burned or injured, ivy extract can promote cell regeneration and healing.
