of this herbal tea is ivy, whose leaves have expectorant, antispasmodic and mucolytic properties. Not surprisingly, the German Commission E recommends ivy for phlegm and for the symptomatic treatment of chronic diseases of the respiratory tract. The same applies to thyme, an essential oil drug with a direct expectorant, anti-inflammatory, spasmolytic and antitussive effect; due to its properties, it is recommended by the German Commission E in cases of bronchitis, phlegm and whooping cough.
Two other functional ingredients of this herbal tea are eucalyptus and licorice; the former have properties similar to thyme, with which it also shares mild antiseptic activities. Once again, the German Commission E recommends eucalyptus and its oil for the treatment of bronchial catarrh. For licorice, on the other hand, in addition to the corrective function of the flavor, expectorant and mucolytic properties have been demonstrated, with an increase in bronchial secretion and in the transport of mucus towards the outside.
The last ingredient, poppy, is the father of codeine and dextromethorphan, two powerful antitussives widely used in registered medicinal specialties; the action of poppy petals in this sense has never been fully demonstrated, but it is true that the drug recognizes a very wide popular use.
In any case, in the presence of cough, it would still be advisable to consult a doctor before taking any natural remedy for cough.
