How does the active ingredient in the medicine work?

The ingredients come from the ivy plant and act as a natural mixture. About the plant itself:
- Appearance: Creeping or climbing plant with dark green leaves that produces pea-sized, blue-black fruits in autumn and winter.
- Occurrence: Europe and Central Asia
- Main ingredients: Saponins, especially alpha-hederin
