In
modern herbal medicine, Ginkgo is used to treat many diseases and not
unjustly. One of the most important properties of Ginkgo is that it improves
blood circulation throughout the body and helps significantly to oxygenate
blood vessels. This very important action has multiple benefits for the
body.
Better brain oxygenation (consuming 20% of total oxygen) helps to cope with
problems such as memory loss, loss of ability to concentrate and mental
disorders in general mainly associated with aging - including Altzheimer's
disease.
Better blood circulation in the body is crucial for cardiac function and
artery elasticity. Ginkgo acts greatly against PAF (platelet activation
factor) which promotes blood clotting, cholesterol concentration and
consequently leads to atherosclerosis. It effectively treats the phenomenon
of "cold extremities" as it restores blood circulation to the hands
and feet. Ginkgo is also referred to as "Nature's Viagra" as it
helps improve blood circulation in genitalia and tackle erectile
dysfunction.
Ginkgo Biloba has very powerful antioxidant properties. The ginkgolides it
contains have been shown to effectively treat infections and contaminations
due to allergies as well as asthma attacks and toxic shocks.
Finally, Ginkgo is known for its anti-aging properties. Its antioxidant
action tackles free roots that cause premature aging.
Tinctures retain all the active ingredients of the herb, they are very
simple to obtain and completely natural. They are definitely superior to food
supplements as they contain no chemicals or preservatives and are much more
effectively absorbed by the body.
