I understand that property has been used medicinales.Tradicionalmente ground ivy to treat tinitos, colds, diarrhea, biliary disorders, hemorrhoids and as a tonic. Before the hops would be available around the beginning of the sixteenth century, the British used to break ground ivy beer. During the Tudor period, was used to preserve beer in sea travel. Some of the old English recipes add flavor to jams using ground ivy.
