Audited Supplier | Description: Common ivy is fast-growing, low maintenance, evergreen, perennial, self-clinging climber or rambling groundcover that normally grows about 50-100 feet in height. As a ground cover, it typically grows to 6-9 inches tall but spreads over time to 50-100 feet. However, it also forms carpets where there are no suitable objects to climb. Normally English ivy grows in two forms or stages: (1) juvenile stage is the climbing/spreading stage (most often seen) in which plants produces thick, 3-5 lobed, dark green leaves (to 4 inches long ) on non-flowering stems with adventitious roots, and (2) adult stage is the shrubby non-climbing stage in which lobe less, elliptic-ovate, dark green leaves appear on rootless stems that do not spread or climb, but do produce round, umbrella-like clusters of greenish-white flowers in early fall followed by blue-black berries. The plant is found growing in forests, forest edges, rocky places, forest floors, trees, rocky and shady places, waste places, riverbeds, stream banks, cliffs, woodlands, hedges, water courses, riparian areas, wetlands, closed forests, roadsides, gardens and fields. It is often found climbing over trees, posts, walls and fences. It does not thrive in wet or extremely moist areas, but will grow in a wide range of soil ph. Root English ivy plants have adventitious roots at their nodes. Roots are generally shallowly rooted, but robust. English ivy also forms aerial, clinging rootlets, allowing it to adhere and climb vertically. Adult English ivy plants form a woody base. Stems Stems are slightly woody and produce short aerial roots (i.e. rootlets) that attach to supporting structures. Younger stems are green to purplish or burgundy red in color and hairless (i.e. glabrous) or minutely hairy (i.e. sparsely pubescent). Leaves Leaves are alternately arranged along the stems and borne on stalks (i.e. petioles) 2.5-11 cm long. They vary from egg-shaped in outline (i.e. ovate) with entire or wavy margins to heart-shaped (i.e. cordate) or shallowly 3-5 lobed (i.e. palmately lobed). In general, the lower leaves tend to be lobed and the upper leaves tend to be entire. These leaves are 3-15 cm long and 3-10 cm wide and are hairless or nearly so (i.e. glabrous or glabrescent) with rounded to pointed tips (i.e. obtuse to acuminate apices). Their upper surfaces are slightly darker green and glossier than their undersides, and they are sometimes variegated with white or cream. Leaves are long-lived and have a strong smell when crushed. Leaves can be toxic to humans and cattle if ingested. Leaves can also cause contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals. Flowers The small flowers are arranged in clusters, with all of the flower stalks (i.e. pedicels) originating from the same point (i.e. in umbels). One or more of these clusters may be arranged into larger branched clusters (i.e. into a raceme or panicle of umbels). Each flower has five yellowish-green petals that are 3-5 mm long, but no obvious sepals. They also have five stamens and five partially fused styles that are about 1.5 mm long. Flowering occurs mainly during summer. Fruit Fertile flowers are followed by berry (it is actually a drupe) 6-8 mm (0.2-0.3 in) in diameter. Fruits are initially green turning to dull bluish-purple or black as it matures. Pulp is purple. The fruit consists of 2-3 whitish seeds. They are normally present during winter and early spring (i.e. from November to January). The berries, which do not become ripe till the following spring, provide many birds, especially wood pigeons, thrushes and blackbirds with food during severe winters. When ripe, they are about the size of a pea, smooth and succulent. They have a bitter and nauseous taste, and when rubbed, an aromatic and slightly resinous odor. Thousands of fruits can be produced by an adult plant each year. English ivy berries, mostly when underdeveloped, can be toxic to humans and cattle if ingested. Approximately 70% of the seeds produced are viable. Health Benefits: 1. Have an Anti-cancer Potential Although research is still ongoing, the many properties that ivy leaves have displayed recommend a significant antioxidant activity, which may also mean that they may have the possible ability to prevent the spread or development of cancer. By possibly eliminating free radicals and preventing mutation and apoptosis, Common ivy leaves may help protect the body from a wide range of chronic diseases, including cancer. 2. Possibly Anti-inflammatory Effects One of the most well-known benefits of using ivy, particularly English Ivy, is for inflammation issues in the body. If you suffer from arthritis, gout, or rheumatism, you can either consume it in the form of tea or apply the leaves directly to the spot of inflammation. For people who experience discomfort and pain from an injury or surgery, topical application is recommended. This can heal internal inflammation as well, which has a variety of other applications in various bodily systems. 3. Aid in Skin Care For centuries, people have used common ivy leaves to minimize the pain and infection of burning wounds on the skin. This also works for any open sores or wounds, as there are certain antibacterial properties of its leaves, in addition to the protective nature of the saponins found within the leaves. This can also help relieve the discomfort and irritation of psoriasis, eczema, acne, and other skin-related conditions. 4. Help Detoxify the Body Early research showed a link between liver and gallbladder function and the use of ivy leaves; this helps the organs function better and release toxins from the body more effectively, thus purifying the blood and reducing strain on these crucial systems. 5. May Relieve Congestion Common Ivy leaves are commonly used to eliminate respiratory tract congestion and inflammation. They act as an expectorant and can break up the phlegm and mucus in the bronchial system. By eliminating these breeding grounds for pathogens and bacteria, you can improve your overall health and reduce your healing time from illness. This may also make ivy leaves an effective remedy for allergic reactions and asthma, as they reduce the inflammation of those passages. 6. Have Antibacterial Properties Common ivy also has certain anthelmintic and anti-parasitic qualities, perhaps making it ideal for eliminating intestinal worms and lice. You can clear out your bowels and also topically apply the extract or decoction to the hair for getting rid of those uncomfortable, itching lice as well! 7. Asthma and Bronchitis English ivy is ideal for reducing cough as well as improving airways. Individuals suffering from asthma, bronchitis, allergies and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can greatly benefit from it. Consisting mainly of saponins, ivy helps lower the tension of bronchial mucus. This plant also aids oxygen supply in the blood and allows people to breathe freely. Moreover, the bronchial mucosa present produces fluid mucus, which is easier and more comfortable to cough up. Furthermore, this plant also helps promote oxygen supply to the lungs which makes it effective in facilitating breathing in asthma patients. Additionally, breaking up of phlegm and mucus also eases inflammation and congestion, which makes it excellent for individuals who suffer from seasonal allergies. |
