D. complementary medicine, 10.1 antitussives and expectorants. Pharmacological action: English ivy leaves seem to be able to break up chest congestion and relieve muscle spasms. It seems to help breathing in children with chronic bronchitis. Pelargonium sidoides: Respiratory effects: in vitro, it was determined to significantly and concentration-dependently increase ciliary beat frequency (CBF), which is an important parameter of the defence mechanism of the mucociliary system. Antibacterial effects: a root extract of pelargonium sidoides seems to have antibacterial activity against several gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial pathogens and some leishmania parasites in vitro and this effect may be due to an ability of pelargonium sidoides to prevent bacteria from attaching to cells in the mucous membranes. Anecdotal information suggests that most of the coumarins found in pelargonium sidoides contain a methoxy function at the C7 position and an OH group at either the C6 or C8 positions and that this is primarily responsible for its antibacterial activity. Indication: Indicated to help relieve wet or dry coughs and congestion.
