:(Herbs For Health) | |||
Discover the benefits of Ginkgo Biloba which is also referred to as ‘Maidenhair’ and also considered to be the world’s oldest surviving tree species is a unique herbal plant with various health benefits. Various scientific studies have managed to indicate that the amazing tree which traces its origin back to China has been existence for over 200 million years now. What is even more, exciting is the fact that all the parts of the Ginkgo Biloba tree can be used in treating various diseases. | |||
:The tree’s fruits, leaves, bark and even seeds can all be used to improve one’s health. | |||
Although the Chinese have been known to use the plant for its medicinal properties for years now, most of its modern application is a result of the intensive scientific research carried out by German scientists. The herbal remedy which can be made from cut or whole leaves and prepared just like other herb infusions and green teas can provide even better results when combined with ‘Panax Ginseng.’ This article is going to educate you as the reader on the various Ginkgo benefits and side effects if any. | |||
:Main Benefits of Ginkgo Biloba Herb | |||
:Stroke prevention and treatment. | |||
Extensive scientific research is ongoing on the stroke treatment and prevention benefits acquired after using the Ginkgo Biloba herb. However, previously reported findings do indicate that Ginkgo can effectively help in preventing stroke by minimizing to a great extent the formation of blood clots in the arteries while improving overall blood flow to all major body organs especially the brain. Doctors who have sufficient knowledge on the herbal plant’s unique healing properties may choose to prescribe the herbal remedy to patients who have suffered a stroke to help in restoring damaged brain cells. | |||
:Boosting Human Libido | |||
One of the most vital effects experienced after using the Ginkgo herb is the increase in blood circulation. Sufficient blood circulation is responsible for maintaining the ideal body energy levels while ensuring that our bodies get the full unaltered benefits from the foods, vitamins, and herbal supplements we consume. The herbal remedy has been proven to increase libido in both men and women while treating impotency related issues, particularly in men. | |||
This is often attained by effectively increasing the required genital blood flow, thus heightening responsiveness resulting in a higher libido. Impaired blood flow and poor circulation through the penis are the main causes of impotency hence using the herbal infusion to increase circulation is likely to get rid of the condition. | |||
Mood Swings and Depression Management | |||
Patients who have been diagnosed with mild depression may benefit greatly from using Ginkgo Biloba extracts or tea to manage their medical condition. Older patients, particularly have shown remarkable improvement when using the herbal remedy to treat their ailments and may often end up renouncing the use of antidepressants as they perceive Ginkgo to be the best treatment alternative while shunning conventional pharmaceutical treatments. | |||
Individuals suffering from varying levels of vascular insufficiency can also experience a notable improvement in their moods after using the extract. Many people, especially the elderly have found Ginkgo Biloba to effectively treat cases of depression resulting in its widespread popularity. | |||
:Unique Antioxidant Properties | |||
Oxygen is a vital element in our daily lives, but can have serious negative effects on the human body under certain conditions. Free radicals or unstable oxygen molecules are often created as a stimulus response to pollutants and external factors or during the body’s normal use and break down of oxygen resulting in both cell and cell structure damage. This alone can contribute to serious health issues, including cancer, especially when the cell genetic material has been affected. | |||
The herb’s antioxidant properties are therefore essential to prevent this from happening. | |||
Ginkgo Biloba provides a powerful yet effective antioxidant that is required in the body to help in repairing cells while getting rid of the acquired harmful effects brought about by free radicals. By doing so, the herbal remedy plays an important role in preventing stroke, heart disease, cancer among other serious medical conditions from happening. | |||
:Relieving Parkinson’s disease | |||
Parkinson’s disease is a medical condition that is typically associated with the loss of normal muscle coordination, constant shaking and progressive stiffness that is often caused by the lack of dopamine in the body. It is a common belief that the constant and regular use of the Ginkgo herb can alleviate the symptoms associated with the disease. | |||
The herb works by increasing blood flow to the major body organs particularly the brain, providing an even higher concentration of neurotransmitters found in the brain resulting in a much better coordination of body activities. Doctors theorize that when used alongside other treatments the herbal remedy can increase dopamine supply to the areas that need it the most relieving Parkinson’s disease in the process. | |||
:Controlling Alzheimer’s Disease | |||
Alzheimer’s has long been believed to be a strange disease as there is has been no cure discovered for it. What is even more, disturbing is the fact that doctors are yet to identify what really causes it in the first place. However, over 300 scientific studies1 have demonstrated Ginkgo’s effectiveness in promoting better blood circulation in the body, especially in the brain, promoting and protecting mental function and memory even for individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. | |||
It is difficult to explain how Ginkgo Biloba works in stabilizing and in some instances improving the overall quality of life for those suffering from the degenerative disease as doctors don’t know its cause. Either way, scientists and prominent doctors both consider ginkgo as the best supplement to either hold off or even treat Alzheimer’s. | |||
:Relieving Reynaud’s disease | |||
Prolonged consumption of the Ginkgo Biloba herb has been found to effectively relieve Reynaud’s disease which is a medical condition caused by restricted blood flow, especially in the toes and fingers. The symptoms experienced by individuals with Reynaud’s disease such as blood clotting can be effectively inhibited by the use of the ginkgo herb resulting in minimized headaches, blood coagulation, and cramps. | |||
Biloba herb may aid in treating the medical condition by widening all the small blood vessels present in the fingers and toes keeping the available spasms from totally blocking the blood circulation. This will also reduce the clogging of the available arteries inhibiting plaque formation, therefore, protecting the individual from developing a heart disease. | |||
:Ginkgo Biloba side effects | |||
Individuals under anticoagulant medication, including warfarin and aspirin and those with blood circulation disorders, should refrain from using the herbal plant as they may experience various undesirable effects after consumption. Other common, but mild side effects include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. It is always considered wise to consult a medical practitioner or herbal expert before using any herbal infusion especially Ginkgo Biloba. | |||
