Ginkgo

Ginkgo is among the oldest living species on earth and has been used extensively as a medicinal agent worldwide for centuries. The chemical constituents that have helped ginkgo resist potentially damaging pests during the millennia most certainly contribute to its positive effects on health. It is the most frequently prescribed medicinal herb in Europe, with hundreds of studies reporting positive effects from taking ginkgo for both the prevention and treatment of various health complaints. The most dramatic benefits are reported in improving circulation in the elderly.
