Beloved Ginko Biloba

Beloved Ginkgo Biloba



Ginkgo Biloba is the oldest living tree species with geological records

indicating it has been growing on earth for 150 to 200 million years.

Ginkgo is derived from the Japanese word ginkyo, meaning the silver

apricot fruit, which is eaten in Japan. Biloba on the other hand,

translates into "two-lobed", referring to the split-in-the-middle character

of the tree's fan-shaped leaf blades.



Ginkgo Biloba is one of the most well-researched herbs in the world.

Hundreds of studies have given credence to the claim that its medicinal

extract when ingested enhances memory because of its positive effects

on the vascular system.



Ginkgo Biloba is also used in the treatment of a variety of neurological

disorders and circulation problems. It may help to counteract the effects

of aging, including mental fatigue and lack of energy. Its extract is

available in tea, tablet, capsule, and powder forms.



Studies show that Ginkgo Biloba's active substances work by increasing

blood flow to the brain and throughout the body's network of blood

vessels. In so doing, they increase metabolism efficiency while boosting

oxygen levels in the brain. This explains why the tree's medicinal extract

is often used to treat elderly persons with Alzheimer's disease.
