Ivy extract is particularly beneficial for patients with specific conditions such as asthma and bronchitis. Symptoms of these diseases include shortness of breath, coughing, and severe wheezing, which are related to reduced airflow in the lungs due to inflamed bronchial passages. The essential oil from this plant helps promote immune functions related to the lungs. When the thickness of the mucous membrane decreases, fluids can be expelled more easily. Lotions or ointments containing ivy extract also have anti-wrinkle effects. They help hydrate dry skin and reduce fine lines on the facial skin. Additionally, some ointments containing this extract can alleviate pain associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatism. Such ointments aid in strengthening bones and reducing joint inflammation. If the skin is inflamed, burned, or injured, ivy extract can promote cell regeneration and healing.
