The plant’s leaves, fruits, and seeds are often used in traditional herbal remedies for treating memory issues, dementia, headaches, vertigo and even tinnitus. In addition, it has also earned a reputation for assisting with sexual performance issues.
Gingko Biloba is considered a general tonic, and it has also been known to be used for depression, anxiety, high cholesterol, fatigue, high blood pressure, PMS, allergies, and eye conditions such as glaucoma.
Well you may be wondering, why does it work? The active ingredient in Gingko Includes flavanols, a type of antioxidant that assists the body in warding off disease and may help to protect neurons.
