The role of ginkgo biloba:

1. Eliminate vascular waste, prevent cerebral thrombosis and stroke.

2. Improve the blood supply to the brain: The carotid artery is the main channel for blood transfusion to the brain. When animals are injected with Ginkgo biloba extract, the blood flow of the carotid artery increases and the brain gets more blood.

3. Anti-myocardial ischemia: Scientists ligated the dog’s coronary arteries to mimic human myocardial infarction. When ginkgo biloba extract is injected into animals with damaged myocardium, the abnormal electrocardiogram will improve.

4. Regulate blood lipids and reduce blood viscosity: Ginkgo biloba helps blood thinning, inhibits thrombus stroke, improves blood circulation, and has no side effects. Therefore, American Dr. Mander called Ginkgo a “very creative” drug.

5. Regulating blood pressure: Ginkgo biloba can strengthen arteriosclerosis, veins and capillaries, and can also strengthen the resistance of peripheral blood vessels, eliminate congestion, prevent various internal organs, and promote normal function.

Very good.

8. Protect the heart: free radicals oxidize LDL to produce lipid particles. A large number of lipid particles combine with each other and deposit on the vascular intima. The coronary arteries are blocked by the deposited LDL, and the heart cannot get sufficient oxygen supply, leading to a heart attack. The leaves can effectively improve blood circulation, ensure the oxygen supply to the heart muscle, and improve left ventricular hypertrophy, thereby avoiding heart disease.

9. Prevention of Alzheimer’s disease: Ginkgo biloba can promote the strength of cerebral arteries or peripheral blood vessels. It is the hardened blood vessels to restore elasticity and improve the narrowed blood vessels. This can revive the atrophic brain cells, prevent Alzheimer’s disease and improve memory , The function of reducing dizziness.

Precautions for ginkgo biloba:

Ginkgo biloba contains a large amount of ginkgolic acid, which is toxic. Generally, the leaves that are purchased have not been processed and extracted, and the content of ginkgolic acid in it is as high as 3000～4000ppm. Especially, ginkgolic acid is water-soluble. The effective substances such as ginkgo brass and ginkgo lactone inside have the opposite effect. They are all poisonous! In addition, flavonoids, the main component of Ginkgo biloba leaves, are powerful platelet activating factor inhibitors. Long-term use may inhibit the aggregation of platelets and increase the risk of cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, the elderly should stop taking ginkgo leaves in moderation, and pay attention to regular detection of blood coagulation, and do not blindly take it for a long time. For patients with senile arteriosclerosis and blood vessel fragility, it is not allowed to take it for a long time to avoid cerebral hemorrhage.

Too much ginkgo biloba also causes muscle twitches and dilated pupils. Pregnant women and children should be especially cautious.
