Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo is one of the most respected herbs for stimulating and restoring circulation in the body. Ginkgo increases blood flow and increases oxygen at cellular levels. Ginkgo is not organ-specific, meaning it can affect all cells, capillaries, veins, organs, tissues, your heart, and your brain. Anywhere in your body that circulation is blocked or stagnant, ginkgo will come to the rescue. It is known as a longevity tonic! It helps heart health, brain function including memory, balance, and cognitive function, eye health including macular degeneration, varicose veins, allergies and asthma, libido, and headaches. Because ginkgo opens up the blood vessels and causes blood to circulate it is great for a hangover! Increased circulation keeps the body from developing many premature disturbances. Ginkgo is the only tree that grows well in the city. It is not affected by insects, pollution, or bacteria. If you are lucky enough to live near a ginkgo tree, make fresh tea from its beautiful leaves. Gingko dates back to the dinosaurs, known as the oldest living tree. Scientific studies on this tree show that each tree lives up to 1,000 years. A grove of Ginkgo biloba can be several thousand years old. An aged ginkgo never loses its potency, always so helpful and nurturing.
