I’ve been working with Ground Ivy, Glechoma hederacea, for over a decade. It’s one of my most supportive herbs because I have chronic ear issues. Ground ivy is known for its action on the ENT(ears, nose, throat) and lymphatic system. It helps the body move excess fluids(mucus). I have worked with ground ivy for ear infections, tinnitus, sinus infections and sinus headaches.
Because this is one of my greatest supports, I make a half gallon jar of tincture each year so that I always have it on hand. You can also make tea from freshly dried aerial parts or add it to salads. It is likely you have ground ivy near you, introduce yourself, make a new friend!
