Nature's Way Bronchial Soothe Ivy Leaf 99.9% Alcohol-free Non-Drowsy Syrup, 120 ML (4 Fl Oz.)

Unique taste homeopathic type product that helped with some bronchial irritation. Seemed to help some.

As a nurse, I do quite a bit of research on any medication before I purchase it for my family. After a bout of illness that left me feeling like I was drowning in my lungs (pneumonia), and with no health insurance at the time, I discovered this product was on the European drug formulary as a standard issue for cough ailments - which means when you go to the doctor there, they issue it like we might issue/suggest Robitussin, etc. Within an hour, my right lung literally "popped" open and with taking it every 4 hours, by day 2, my lungs and cough were 80% better. I very quickly completely healed from this without any noticeable lung injury afterward. One of the VERY FEW medicinal items I keep stocked for my family/friends to use. It tastes a bit like highly diluted, sweet Pine-Sol - not necessarily appealing. We also have the pill form; however, it is not nearly as efficient/effective. Although I have many friends who have experienced much benefit with this particular brand, as always in medicine, there are a couple people with similar colds/cough who had no response. This certainly will not cure a viral cold or pneumonia; however, for many people, it will clear their lungs/secretions enough to get a good night's sleep, which also helps in the healing process :) One of the best "finds" I've discovered in home remedy products versus prescribed medicines.

My son woke up in the middle of the night with what I later Googled to be Croup cough. This was during the hyped up whooping cough outbreak and like any mother I was in a complete panic. I had never heard of Croup. It was maybe 2 am so I went online right away to compare the cough to whooping cough and thankfully that wasn't it but WHAT it did sound exactly like was Croup. I looked up what Croup was and how to treat it which is when I found the Ivy Leaf remedy. I ordered through 1 day shipping on Amazon and it was here the following day. We did a steam treatment immediately, for comfort that night. NOW, when the Ivy Leaf got here I gave it to my son and I kid you not - he was better with that one dose!!! I continued him on the liquid for the next 2 days but it really wasn't necessary. The cough subsided & he was back to running a muck. I now turn to ONLY this brand Ivy Leaf whenever there's a cough in my house and it works the same way every time. I bought 2 bottles this time because we seem to run out at inconvenient times! I tried a little just to see what it tasted like and it reminded me of the Vick's 44 my dad used to give me when I had a cough. I can say with conviction -THIS IS WHAT VICK'S IS 'TRYING' TO BE so skip the red dye,extra sugar and the days/ hours of doses and get straight to the point with the real deal!

I used this to help me when I got sick. It helped me to feel better. There were no side effects and I did like it. It’s not a replacement for prescription meds when you’re really sick but it did take the edge off my symptoms.

Ivy Leaf extract is very good for soothing respiratory discomfort and shortening the duration. The taste is mild, subtly sweet, easy for kids to take. A healthy option when not feeling well.
