Dr. Christine Horner explains the benefits of Ginkgo Biloba. Thousands of years ago ancient Chinese physicians recommended the leaves and seeds of the Ginkgo Biloba tree for a number of ailments, today modern research has confirmed that the herb Ginkgo Biloba has significant medicinal effects. Extract from the leaves and seeds of the Ginko tree is now the most well-researched botanical medicine in the world. Ginkgo is also the most widely prescribed herb in Europe. There's a good reason for its popularity.
Research shows that it has significant benefits and a minimum of side effects.
Ginkgo can even be effective in treating certain conditions which western medicine cannot. Herbal medicines are generally composed of whole plants or parts of whole plants. Hundreds, if not thousands, of compounds are present in each plant. The combination of these substances are thought to all work together to produce the total effect of the herb like the various instruments of a symphony. No one active ingredient can be isolated to produce the same effects.
