Some scientists
say that the ginkgo tree is the oldest surviving tree on the
planet earth. The ginkgo nut was the main medicine of the tree
for thousands of years. Within the last hundred years, much
research has been  done
on the leaf by German researchers. They have found it to be
a treasure chest full of healthy remedies for the older folks,
as well as the middle aged and younger.
Ginkgo leaf has
the rare ability to stimulate the blood circulation throughout
the body. This fact alone is enough to get most people excited,
especially older folks. But the big news seems to be that ginkgo
leaf has been able to help the blood circulate through those
little capillaries in the brain. This has enabled many who have
suffered with memory loss to start remembering again.
In Europe, there
have been more than 250 controlled studies proving the worth
of ginkgo leaf. In France, they conducted a double-blind study
and gave half a ginkgo extract and the other half a placebo.
Within three months, the group that was getting the ginkgo extract
showed a big improvement over the other  group.
The good part, is that those persons who had the most problems,
had also shown the most improvement. In another study, they
tested to find out if ginkgo would show improvement in orientation,
mental alertness, communication, mobility and recent memory
improvement. Almost all who participated in the study showed
improvement in all of these fields. Ginkgo leaf is the main
herb in LIFE QUEST HERBS' MEMORY AID formula.
Many people in
Germany have been using ginkgo for many different problems.
One report said that ginkgo could help prevent strokes, which
is the third greatest cause of death in this country, also that
ginkgo improves the flow of blood to the heart, decreasing the
chance of heart attacks. Ginkgo is said to help to overcome
impotence in males, help to prevent and overcome degeneration
of the retina, helps prevent hearing loss and ringing in the
ears, and slows down aging.
