Due to the increase of circulation in the brain, and therefore the increased oxygenation and sustenance of brain cells, produced by the extract from the leaves of Ginkgo biloba, this plant has given excellent results for combating a series of infirmities to the brain and mental health.
Increase memory and mental concentration.
In Europe, millions of daily dosages are consumed by students and professionals in order to increase their mental abilities, whether for work or study, thus demonstrating the effective impact it has on increasing memory and mental power.
Senility and Alzheimer’s Disease.
A number of studies concluded that the daily consumption of Ginkgo Biloba extract produces a considerable increase in memory and in the activity of neurons in the brain. Some articles mentioned by Dr. Frank Murray in his book “Ginkgo Biloba” bring out the following: Dr. W.V. Weitbrecht, along with collaborators in Germany, carried out a study on 40 patients between 60 and years of age.
Twenty of them were given 120mg./day of ginkgo biloba extract, while the
other twenty were given a placebo. After three months the researchers
reported that the patients who took ginkgo Biloba demonstrated more concentration and much higher levels of mental activity than those who did not receive Ginkgo. Other research has demonstrated that the percentage of nerve transmissions in the neurons increases significantly.
Headache (Migraine)
In a study done in France by Dr. Dalet, in 1975 in which patients suffering from migraine headaches took Ginkgo Biloba extract,
improvement was noted in 80% of the cases. The reason for the
alleviation in migraine sufferers may be due to effect on the arteries
by the active ingredients of the plant.
Asthma and Ginkgo
The modern Chinese Pharmacology notes the qualities of Ginkgo in the treatment of bronchial asthma and chronic bronchitis.The reason for this is due to the effect produced by the active ingredients of Ginkgo (ginkgolides) to alleviate bronchial constriction.
Dr. Donald J. Brown, N.D., commented in the magazine “Lets Live” that in cases of astham in children, he has observed a reduction in severe asthma as well as in the frequency of attacks.
Loss Of Hearing
This problem affects nearly 9 million Americans. A 1979 study done
in France (Chesseboeuf L.) reveals that the hearing organs are highly
sensitive to a lack of oxygen. Ginkgo Biloba has proven to be an
excellent stimulant thus resulting in improved hearing for those having
suffered from hearing loss. Dr. Frank Murray mentions that taking 160
mg., of extract per day for one to three months has produced 40 to 80
percent improvement in volunteers, compared to others who received a
placebo (substance with no therapeutic effect)
Impotence
Given that the majority of men suffering from impotence are
individuals in whom the required blood pressure and volume is lacking. Ginkgo Biloba has
proven to stimulate this function due to its ability to dilate the
vessels, which in turn facilitates the necessary blood flow for
obtaining sexual virility.
Circulatory Problems
The circulation of blood is very important for all the body’s organs, nevertheless it is of essential importance for the brain and heart vital organs on which the whole body depends. Ginkgo has
proven to exercise substantial beneficial help where circulatory
problems exist in the brain, alleviating the problems related to
embolism and cerebral infarction, as well as thrombosis. Ginkgo causes
the vessels to dilate which allows a greater quantity of blood to
circulate. As a consequence, this action brings about the lowering of
the blood pressure.
Embolism
Normally a region of the brain ceases to function in the case of an
embolism. Therefore, a more generous supply of oxygen and nutrients to
the damaged area is necessary in order for the nerves cells to
recuperate efficiently.
Ginkgo Biloba is also beneficial in the treatment of poor blood circulation in the legs and hands (Cold legs and hands), as well as in other parts of the body where circulation is deficient.
Antioxidant
Ginkgo biloba act as an excellent antioxidant. Antioxidants help
prevent the general deterioration of the body. Vitamins C, A, and E, as
well as selenium, help destroy free radicals. Ginkgo Biloba takes part in this activity.
Dosage. A regular dose is 40 mg., of Ginkgo Biloba extract per day.
