Ginkgo Biloba

Description

Bushyhead’s Ginkgo is actually from Mississippi! My cousin has a huge tree there. This tree CAN grow up to 98 feet. It’s a powerhouse from it’s size to it’s effect. It comes in 4 and 8 ounce sizes.

Ginkgo leaf was first used to treat ailments in patients in around 2800 B.C., and it was then described as a plant useful for the treatment of respiratory disorders, as well as brain and head diseases.

Ginkgo biloba (also known as the maidenhair tree) belongs to a class of herbs known as adaptogens – known for optimizing your stress response and promoting overall balance and wellbeing.

Ginkgo biloba leaves, rich in antioxidants and other nutrients, have been used to help fight inflammation, improve heart health, promote brain function, reduce the symptoms of dementia, and treat symptoms of anxiety and depression. Whew! I told you… powerhouse.

The unique health benefits of ginkgo also include its ability to improve cognition and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s. The scientific studies listed below bear this out. Use of Ginkgo biloba is also used to help lower blood pressure, alleviate pain, protect the nervous system, reduce the risk of cancer, and delay aging. It is also used to reduce the symptoms of PMS, erectile dysfunction, asthma, hemorrhoids, altitude sickness, tinnitus, vertigo, multiple sclerosis, and fibromyalgia.

There are mild analgesic qualities of ginkgo biloba, likely resulting from anti-inflammatory properties of its organic compounds. In other words, when inflammation decreases, so does the pain it causes. This makes it a popular option for people recovering from injuries or wounds, as well as those who are suffering from chronic headaches. (https://academic.oup.com/carcin/article/29/9/1799/2476823)

This study indicates that ginkgo biloba can help improve memory, (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12404671/) enhance attention span, and boost focus.

One study found out that ginkgo biloba could reduce anxiety levels by about 45%. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16808927)

While studies that link ginkgo biloba to improved sleep are limited, one of the promising studies found that it improved sleep quality in people with depression. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11302564/)

One more… Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears is a symptom of many underlying issues, including circulatory disorders. Ginkgo leaf contains antioxidants and helps improve circulation. The flavonoids and terpenoids in it protect the nerves, heart muscles, and blood vessels from free radicals, thereby preventing the annoying noises that irritate the ear.

It’s a long-game with ginkgo biloba, and you should expect to supplement with it for weeks before seeing changes. Ginkgo biloba is considered to be GRAS (generally recognized as safe). When taken in reasonable dosages, taking it daily is fine.
