AinkEo BmlobA  <div> <p<aclass="discreetLink">Ginkgo Biloba uses could be traced back to millions of years ago in Chinese medicine history.
Modern day research on Ginkgo Biloba extract was carried out by German scientists proving to the world how beneficial ginkgo Biloba uses are. In Germany, Ginkgo Biloba tea along with other products is routinely prescribed in main stream medicine.

Let’s take a look at what specific health conditions Ginkgo Biloba benefits.

1. Depression and Mood Swings. Patients diagnosed with mild stages of depression can draw great benefits from Ginkgo Biloba tea and extract. Elderly patients showed great improvement solely while being on Ginkgo Biloba extract and foregoing antidepressant medications.

2. Male Impotency could be greatly relieved by regular Gingko Biloba extract therapy that works by increasing blood flow to male genital organs and enhancing erections.

3. Tinnitus or ringing in ears condition was proven to show improvement after Gingko Biloba treatment. It’s still unclear to scientists how exactly Ginkgo Biloba benefits tinnitus but it’s believed to improve oxygen rich blood flow to the ears.

4. Gingko Biloba benefits by providing body with potent antioxidant properties necessary to rid cells from free radicals’ damaging effects and help repair cells. This is important in prevention of heart disease, stroke, cancer and many other serious conditions.

5. Reynaud’s disease associated with decreased blood flow to extremities. Ginkgo Biloba compounds work by enhancing blood flow to hands and feet and relieving blood vessel spasms.

6. There’s currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease and doctors are not sure what might be causing it. Many doctors, however, strongly believe that Ginkgo Biloba benefits increased blood flow to the brain, enhances neural transmitters and delays brain cell degeneration.

7. Parkinson’s disease is associated with uncontrollable shaking, loss of coordination and balance and is believed to be benefited by regular Ginkgo Biloba extract intake. It helps increase brain blood flow and provides higher concentration of neurotransmitters to be present in brain at any time.

8. Prevents and treats stroke conditions. Ginkgo Biloba benefits stroke prevention by minimizing blood clots in the arteries and improving blood flow to major organs including brain. In post stroke patients, Ginkgo Biloba patch and other products can help restore damaged brain cells.

9. Multiple Sclerosis. More research is still needed but scientists suspect that Ginkgo Biloba benefits could be useful to treat Multiple Sclerosis damaging effects in the future.

10. Neuropathy (nerve damage) associated with diabetes could be greatly improved and sometimes reversed by regular Gingko Biloba extract supplementation. Potent antioxidants and other compounds have tremendous ability to improve blood flow and repair damaged nerve tissues.

Ginkgo Biloba Benefits and Information

Many scientists believe that ginkgo biloba is one of oldest living species of tree. These amazing trees can live up to 1,000 years. Ginkgo grows most predominantly in the southern and eastern United States, southern France, China, and Korea. The leaves of the tree are used for their medicinal effects.

Although the Ginkgo tree has been around for many millions of years, it has only been during the last few decades that its true value has been recognized. Among it medicinal uses ginkgo biloba shows most promise as a circulatory aid, helping to increase blood flow to the brain which may be useful for memory loss, vertigo, tinnitus, disorientation, headaches, and depression, especially in the elderly and the elderly not responding to antidepressant drugs. Increasing amounts of evidence show that gingko may in deed help to relieve cerebral insufficiency, which is defined as a decrease in blood supply to the brain.
Many individuals suffering from other circulation related conditions such as leg cramps have also reported to have experienced favorable results from using ginkgo biloba. Ginkgo offers antioxidant effects as well, which may protect both the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system from the negative effects of aging, specifically age-related mental deterioration. Some study results offer additional evidence that the antioxidants in ginkgo may also help to inhibit high blood pressure. However, no studies have provided conclusive evidence supporting many of the claimed benefits of ginkgo biloba.

More recent studies have provided promising evidence that ginko may provide beneficial effects in connection with the following conditions:

• Age-related cognitive decline (ARCD)
• Alzheimer's disease (early-stage)
• Glaucoma (normal tension glaucoma)
• Intermittent claudication

Researchers attribute the medical effects of Ginkgo biloba extract primarily to two categories of active constituents: flavone glycosides and terpene lactones. Ginkgo flavone glycosides are primarily responsible for ginkgos antioxidant effects while the terpene lactones, also known as ginkgolides and bilobalide, are believed to be responsible for ginko's ability to increase blood circulation to the brain and other parts of the body.

Ginkgo's antioxidant effects may also inhibit platelet stickyness which can decrease the risk of circulatory diseases, such as atherosclerosis.

Ginkgo may also enhance cognitive performance in healthy older adults and in people suffering from age-related cognitive decline.

Dosage and Administration

Because there are no known scientific reports about the use of ginkgo in children, we cannot offer any dosage recommendation for this age group.

General dosage recommendations for adults are 120 mg daily in two or three divided doses of 50:1 extract standardized to 25 flavone glycosides. For adults initial results often take four to six weeks, but should continue to accumulate beyond that period. You may not see any dramatic changes for six months.

Ginkgo biloba Benefits

Ginkgo biloba has been traced back nearly 300 million years making it the oldest surviving tree species on earth! The Chinese have used the plant medicinally for eons but many of the modern applications come from the research of German scientists. Ginkgo is a prescription herb in Germany.

Ginkgo Biloba is especially good when combined with Panax Ginseng.

Ginkgo extract has proven benefits to elderly persons. This ancient herb acts to enhance oxygen utilization and thus improves memory, concentration, and other mental faculties. The herbal extract has also been shown to significantly improve long-distance vision and may reverse damage to the retina of the eye. Studies have also confirmed its value in the treatment of depression in elderly persons. The ginkgo extract may provide relief for persons with headache, sinusitis, and vertigo. It may also help relieve chronic ringing in the ears known as tinnitus.

In studies, Ginkgo biloba has been reported as demonstrating anti-oxidant abilities with improvements of the platelet and nerve cell functions and blood flow to the nervous system and brain. It has also been reported as reducing blood viscosity. It's ability to increase vascular dilation, may help reduce retinal damage due to macular degradation and may reverse deafness caused by reduced blood flow.

Recently, extensive research on the herb has been conducted on the healing properties of the leaf extract. Germany and France have run literally hundreds of studies on the leaf extract. These studies along with similar studies in America, have shown significant results. The extract of Ginkgo biloba has been studied for its effectiveness in the treatment of Acrocyanosis, Alzheimer's disease, Cerebral atherosclerosis, Cerebral insufficiencies, Cochlear deafness, Dementia, Depression, Menopause, Peripheral and cerebral circulatory stimulation, Peripheral vascular disease, Raynaud's syndrome, Retinopathy, Senility, Short-term memory loss, Tinnitus, Vascular Diseases, and Vertigo.

It is said to be effective in improving the blood flow to the hands and the feet as well as stimulating the brain and reducing short-term memory loss. It increases blood flow to the brain, the uptake of glucose by brain cells, and has been said to improve the transmission of nerve signals.

Depression: Patients suffering from varying degrees of vascular insufficiency also noted an improvement in mood while taking ginkgo biloba extract. This has prompted a surge of interest in its use as a treatment for depression, especially in the elderly. Many people have found GBE to enhance other depression treatments and to often even prevent the need for pharmaceutical treatments in mild cases of depression. Those under the age of fifty may also benefit from ginkgo biloba's antidepressant effects. So far though, the greatest level of improvement has been noted with older patients.

Alzheimer's & Mental Function: As more than 300 studies demonstrate, ginkgo facilitates better blood flow through out the body, most notably the brain, where it both protects and promotes memory and mental function, even for people with Alzheimer's disease. It also offers a wealth of possibilities in the treatment of many other common ailments.

**Alzheimer's: **Since doctors are still not sure what causes Alzheimer's disease, we do not have a definite idea of how ginkgo works to stabilise, and in some cases, improve the quality of life for those suffering from this degenerative disease. Scientists have noted that Alzheimer's is marked by a major loss of nerve cells in the brain, particularly those in areas controlling memory and thinking. Since doctors have found antioxidants to help slow the destruction of nerves, it is not a stretch to see ginkgo's antioxidant properties helping in this area. The disease is also believed to have a connection to decreased blood flow to the brain. If so, ginkgo's vasodilating effects may be a big help in the treatment process. Either way, prominent doctors and scientists believe ginkgo to be the supplement of choice to help hold off and possibly treat Alzheimer's.

Antioxidant Properties: Although oxygen is essential for life, it can have adverse effects on your body. Unstable oxygen molecules can often be created during our body's normal break down and use of oxygen or can form in response to external factors and pollutants. These unstable molecules, called free radicals, can damage cells and structures within cells. If the genetic material in cells is affected and not repaired, it can duplicate in new cells, contributing to cancer and other health problems. These free radicals may also weaken artery walls, allowing fatty deposits that can lead to hear disease. As an antioxidant, ginkgo biloba combats free radicals and repairs molecular damage. A great deal of research suggests that antioxidants such as GBE may play important roles in preventing or delaying heart disease, cancer and other ills. Antioxidants may even halt the damage to cells, thereby slowing the effects of aging.

Impotency: Another use for ginkgo biloba is in the treatment of impotency. The main cause of male impotence is poor circulation and impaired blood flow through the pen*s, which is often the result of atherosclerosis. Since ginkgo biloba increases blood flow, it's been found to help up to fifty percent of patients after six months of use.

Raynaud's disease: Raynaud's disease is believed to be caused by blood vessels that over react to the cold and spasm, reducing blood flow and there by depriving extremities of oxygen. Ginkgo biloba may help this condition by widening the small blood vessels, which would keep these spasms from completely blocking the blood flow.

**Parkinson's Disease: **The lack of dopamine is believed to produce the progressive stiffness, shaking and loss of muscle coordination typical in Parkinson's disease. Doctor's theorise that along with other treatments, Ginkgo biloba may help symptoms by increasing the brain's blood flow and there by allowing more of the depleted dopamine to be circulated to the areas that need it most.

Other Conditions: Other uses for which ginkgo biloba extract is often recommended include depression, diabetes related nerve damage and poor circulation, allergies, vertigo, short-term memory loss, headache, atherosclerosis, tinnitus, cochlear deafness, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and PMS.

Strokes: Scientists continue to study the prevention and treatment benefits to stroke patients that are attributed to GBE. It's believed that by preventing blood clots from developing and increasing the blood flow to the brain, ginkgo biloba may help stop strokes from occurring. It's also believed that the herb inhibits free-radical damage of brain cells after a stroke.

Multiple sclerosis & Organ transplant: GBE also appears to have an anti-inflammatory action that may make it valuable in the future for conditions such as multiple sclerosis and organ transplants.
