Ginkgo Biloba
   By Charles Silverman

Hello

Welcome back to another issue of "The Home Made Medicine Newsletter"

In this issue we will talk about one of the oldest and most important herbs,
Ginkgo Biloba. After reading the history and benefits of this plant you'll
appreciate the true potential of Ginkgo Biloba.

So let's get started !!! 

The history.
 

Ginkgo is the oldest living tree, it has seen the rise and fall of dinosaurs,
some scientists call it "the living fossil". During the Triassic period it was
common in many parts of the world, but it almost vanished completely
during the Ice Age, surviving only in Asia. Chinese have use Ginkgo for
thousands of years, (as early as 2800 B.C.E.), and it was so important that
emperors cultivated the plant as a secret tree within the wall of their
temples.
 

The Properties. 

Sadly, in America, medicine and health are a big business so the properties
of this tree are not publicized. Europeans have come to rely on Ginkgo
extract to treat many illnesses. In Germany and France it's been registered
as a drug, and it's one of the most commonly prescribed remedies. In
Germany Ginkgo has been authorized for the treatment of a wide array of
cerebral problems, ranging from ringing in the ears, to memory loss,
anxiety, headaches, dizziness and nervousness. It has been approved to
treat circulatory disorders as well. Latest researches done in Germany and
France have shown extremely good results using Ginkgo Biloba extract to
treat Alzheimer's, even reversing the disease when caught early.

The main property of Ginkgo is its ability to improve circulation to all parts
of the body, including the brain, this is believed to be a key benefit to 
Alzheimer's and stroke patients. By improving blood flow Ginkgo helps the
body deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to damaged areas of the body. 
Ginkgo nourishes blood vessels which decreases the chances of heart
attacks and circulatory problems.

Another property of Ginkgo is the ability of fight free radicals (see our
previous Newsletter title Free Radicals and antioxidants). Due to its
antioxidant characteristics Ginkgo searches for free radicals attacking them
and leaving harmless molecules in their place.

We need a change.

In the United States millions of people have discovered the powerful
benefits of Ginkgo biloba and are turning to it for the relief of many
conditions related to aging.  Thanks to these advocates, Ginkgo has become
the third best selling herb in this country. This has raised the attention of
big laboratories; Realizing the importance of capturing part of this growing
market, they are starting to investigate and research this tree. Although
they have been reluctant to do so, because it is almost impossible to patent
something that can be grown on anybody's backyard.  However in the
future we might see, mass-produced herbal remedies, manufactured by
these big labs, and with the complete authorization and support of the FDA. 
The good news is that herbs like Ginkgo Biloba, will then receive the credit
and appreciation they deserve, the bad news is that you should expect a
much higher price.

Dosage.

Ginkgo Biloba can be taken in capsules, 120-240 mg daily is the
recommended amount, if taking a standardized dose 40 mg 3 times a day
should be the proper amount. A tincture can be used and the proper dosage
is 10-15 drops 1-3 times a day.

Side effects. 

Like many herbs, Ginkgo has no dangerous side effects, it is safe during
pregnancy or lactation. However, some anticoagulant drugs are not
compatible with Ginkgo and it should be avoided if using drugs like
warfarin.

We hope you have enjoyed this issue, and that we have shed some light on
this subject. Next time we will talk about Ginseng, how it helps us and how
to take advantage of it.
