Ginkgo Biloba Extract: What Are The Health Benefits?

Before you buy a ginkgo biloba herbal remedy, why not take a moment to learn a little more about ginkgo biloba uses. You may be hoping for improved memory or a reduction of vertigo, but there are other ginkgo biloba uses, as well.

Ginkgo History-Briefly
The Ginkgo tree is considered a living fossil. While other plants have diverged and formed various species over time, this one has remained almost identical to its ancestors that were present during the Pliocene period of the planet, which occurred over a million years ago. There are some specimens, living today, that are believed to be over 1000 years old. They were the only plants to survive the bombing of Hiroshima in Japan. The trees were charred, but survived the bombing and soon returned to good health.

The ginkgo biloba herbal remedy is extracted from the leaves of the tree. It has been used for many years. The leaves have pharmaceutical activity and are generally taken in dosages ranging from 40-200mg per day.

Ginkgo Biloba Uses

Scientific studies have supported the ginkgo biloba uses for the health of the brain and other bodily organs, by showing that it increases the oxygen content of cells and tissues. It has been shown to increase mental clarity and concentration, as well as increasing alertness and short term memory retention. It is for this reason that it has been suggested for preventing Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases, although there are other plant extracts, such as curcumin, that are believed to have even more benefit in this area.

Heart

Other ginkgo biloba uses are to protect the health of the heart. It may, however, interact with certain heart medications. If you are currently taking a prescription medication, check with your doctor before you take this supplement.

Ears, Vertigo...

A ginkgo biloba herbal remedy may be beneficial for reducing vertigo, dizziness or tinnitus, which is ringing in the ears. Again, it will work best for these purposes, if it is combined with curcumin and ginger extracts. This combination is also known to reduce stress and anxiety. There are not really many “stand-alone” extracts. There are lots of beneficial ones and they work well together, as long as the supplement is well designed.

Hearing, Strokes...

One of the ginkgo biloba uses includes the prevention of hearing loss, as it supports blood flow to the ears. It may help prevent strokes and protect the arterial walls from cholesterol build up that can lead to blockages. It has antioxidant activity and boosts ATP levels (another important nutrient).

In traditional medicine, the ginkgo biloba herbal remedy was recognized as an aphrodisiac. It is now recommended for impotence and ED. By increasing blood flow, this is one of the ginkgo biloba uses that are very likely to be beneficial.

If you have any kind of health problem or just don’t have as much energy as you would like to, increasing your intake of trace nutrients and extracts that are commonly missing from the diet can help. A ginkgo biloba herbal remedy is one of the ingredients that your supplement should contain.
