Thyme and Ivy: Patients with acute cough due to a respiratory infection took thyme and ivy.

87% of participants had significant reductions in cough severity.

The majority of participants were symptom-free in seven days.

SAFE FOR KIDS: Clinical trial of over 5,000 children ages 2-12 tested the effects of an ivy leaf extract to treat coughs.  Children with coughing caused by a viral respiratory infection saw their coughing frequency decline by 50% and coughing at night stopped almost entirely.

Children with cough associated with bronchitis had a 30% reduction in coughing intensity and also a near elimination of coughing at night.
