Ginkgo has a long history of medicinal use in traditional Chinese medicine,
where the seed is most commonly used. Recent research into the plant has
discovered a range of medicinally active compounds in the leaves and this
has excited a lot of interest in the health-promoting potential of the
plant. In particular, the leaves stimulate blood circulation and have a
tonic effect on the brain, reducing lethargy, improving memory, and giving
an improved sense of well-being. They have also been shown to be effective
in improving peripheral arterial circulation and in treating hearing
disorders such as tinnitus where these result from poor circulation or
damage by free radicals. In 1989, a product from Ginkgo Biloba, often used
for tinnitus, was the most widely used medicine in West Germany, where more
than 5 million prescriptions were written.*

Ginkgo is generally accepted as a remedy for minor deficits in brain
function, such as those that occur with advancing age. It is used to
improve concentration and combat short-term memory loss due to clogged
arteries in the brain, and to treat dizziness, headache, and emotional
hypersensitivity accompanied by anxiety.*
The leaves contain Ginkgolides, which are compounds that are unknown in any
other plant species. Ginkgolides inhibit allergic responses and so are of
use in treating disorders such as asthma. Eye disorders and senility have
also responded to treatment. The leaves are best harvested in the late
summer or early autumn just before they begin to change color. They are
dried for later use.*
It is widely held that about one-quarter of Western medicines are derived
from plants, although a recent study led by Francesca Grifo, director of
the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation at the American Museum of
Natural History, puts the figure closer to 60%. Most Western plant-derived
medicines, however, resulted from isolating active ingredients and not from
the complex compounds that make up most herbal remedies. Some scientists
apply the term "botanical" to any product that contains ingredients of
vegetable matter or its constituents as a finished product.*
Research continues to accumulate evidence for herbal medicines. Scientific
research on many herbal medicines has shown a clear correlation with health
benefits. For Ginkgo Biloba, for example, the NIH's Alternative Medicine
report cites more than nine published scientific studies, conducted mostly
in Europe, confirming ginkgo's effectiveness in improving cognitive
function and circulation, and in reducing the risk of cardiovascular
disease. The report also cites findings confirming the benefits of milk
thistle (Silybum marianum, used both to prevent and repair liver damage),
saw palmetto (Serenoa repens, effective against benign prostatic
hypertrophy), and echinacea (Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea angustifolia,
found to have immune-enhancing and antibacterial properties), among
others.*
More Info:
Ginkgo reduces the platelet activity factor (PAF) in the blood, similar to
the action of aspirin on blood thinning. Excessive PAF has been linked to
cardiovascular disease, brain damage, hearing disorders, and other immune
and inflammatory diseases.*
Gingko Biloba increases the body’s production of adenosine triphosphate
(ATP), the main source of energy at the cellular level. ATP has been shown
to enhance the brain´s ability to convert glucose into energy and to increase electrical activity. The ginkgo flavonoids soften the thin capillaries,
which has positive effect on all the body’s organs, especially the brain.*
Because of the herb’s potential antioxidant properties, it can be beneficial
for the brain, retina, and cardiovascular system which can lead to less
damage by free radicals, age-related decline of brain function and
naturally slowing down the aging process.*
It may also increase metabolism, regulate neurotransmitters, and boost
oxygen transport to the brain.*
In Germany, Ginkgo Biloba has been regarded for some time to have potential
in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Some studies have shown that the
herb may reverse brain damage caused by exposure to toxic chemicals and
that it has a long-acting positive effect on the metabolism of sugar and
oxygen in the brain.*
Numerous European studies indicate that ginkgo increases both short-term
and long-term memory in people with age-related memory impairment or
impairment in learning ability.*
Clinical trials suggest that the herb could increase the activity of brain
waves called alpha waves, and lessen the activity of theta waves. These
brain wave changes indicate that ginkgo might have the ability to enhance
brain activity, resulting in increased mental acuity and improved
concentration and memory which has led to believe that the plant might
have its uses as a medicinal herb for ADHD and ADD.*
Ginkgo has been used to treat depression in the elderly in injunction with
synthetic medicine and depression that could not be treated with
conventional antidepressants and some trials have shown that ginkgo
combined with ginger (Zingiber officinale) may reduce anxiety.*
Some studies suggest that the flavonoids present in the plant could be
helpful for people with age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), an eye
disease that affects the retina. In addition, the use of ginkgo could slow
the development of cataracts and protect against damage to the optic nerve
in patients with glaucoma. More studies are needed.*
The herb has been used as an herbal remedy for impotence. It contains
substances that make blood vessels relax which could lead to greater blood
flow to the penis and stronger erections. An open clinical trial (without
placebo) found that 76% of men who experienced sexual problems caused by
the use of antidepressant drugs such as Prozac, Zoloft, or Nardil regained
sexual function after four to six weeks of taking ginkgo. The herb also
caused increased desire and more powerful orgasms in women who experienced
sexual problems after using antidepressants.*
Gingko Biloba might be helpful in preventing heart attack, stroke, and
peripheral artery disease in cases where the underlying factor is
atherosclerosis. When a blood vessel is damaged, it will produce a fibrous
tissue where cholesterol can accumulate and transform into plaque and cause
the arteries to narrow. Ginkgo may slow down the formation of this tissue
and relax constricted blood vessels.*
Due to the herb’s ability to improve blood circulation, it has often been
used to treat tinnitus or the feeling of a constant ringing or buzzing of the
ears or head. Tinnitus is a very difficult ailment to treat and the use of
ginkgo should under no circumstance replace a medical examination of
tinnitus or hearing loss, as many conditions relating to such problems
cannot be treated with herbs or supplements.*
Ginkgo has also been used to fight the gradual loss of energy brought on by
aging.LifeSource Vitamins - Ginkgo Biloba is grown and extracted under the
highest quality standards, shown to help blood circulation and have a tonic
effect on the brain, reducing lethargy, improving memory, and giving an
improved sense of well-being.*
