What Experts Say

Ivy leaf extract is widely studied for helping thin bronchial mucus and ease a chesty cough. Thyme has traditional use as an expectorant and soothes irritated airways. Evidence for ivy leaf extract is strongest in acute bronchitis and chesty cough, where it is often used as a gentle option.

Licorice root adds a coating, calming effect on the throat. Together the herbs aim to loosen phlegm so it can be coughed out more easily. Staying well hydrated thins mucus further, and warm drinks can soothe the throat between doses.

It is meant for mild to moderate cough. A cough lasting more than a week, or with high fever, breathlessness or blood in the sputum, needs a doctor's evaluation. Herbal does not mean risk free, so the stated dose should be followed, and smokers or people with chronic lung disease should still be assessed by a doctor.
