Additional information
A cough is defined as a sudden and often repetitively occurring natural defence reflex which helps to clear the large breathing passages of excess secretions and microbes. Coughs can also be caused by a number of conditions including allergies, irritants, medications and gastric reflux.
A cough can be either dry or productive, depending on whether mucus is coughed up. Acute coughs are a common symptom of respiratory tract infections due to a cold, influenza or secondary bacterial infection. Viral infections of the respiratory system are the main cause of developing a cough.
Ivy leaf may calm coughing and relieve chest congestion. It is ideal for productive coughs, especially if there is sticky or thick mucus present. It helps to promote expectoration and soothe the cough. Ivy leaf may help to thin and loosen mucus making it easier to cough up.
Ivy leaf is suitable for the whole family, and can be used in kids under 2 years after consulting a healthcare professional.
