== Ginkgo Biloba is a vasodilator and increases blood flow to the brain. It is often called a 'living fossil' as the Ginkgo Tree has been traced back to existing millions of years

= = =Therapeutic Indications= -Blood Clots Known medically as claudication, leg pain caused by clogged arteries responds extremely well to //Ginkgo biloba// extract. In fact, more than a few studies have actually found //Ginkgo biloba// extract comparable to the most commonly prescribed pharmaceuticals for this painful medical condition. -Dementia Much of the research on //Ginkgo biloba// has focused on alleviating the most obvious symptoms of dementia. One of the best studies to look at ginkgo and dementia patients found //Ginkgo biloba// extract safe and effective for dementia related to either Alzheimer disease or vascular dementia. Even in the very elderly, ginkgo is generally well-tolerated and safe. -Memory It's believed that //Ginkgo biloba// works mainly by increasing blood flow, especially in the brain. Naturally, many researchers have wondered if ginkgo's action could help increase memory, concentration and learning retention. Unfortunately, many of the studies finding ginkgo effective at increasing memory have been very small, lacked control groups or were just poorly designed. At this time, the research on ginkgo for memory seems promising but more study is needed before ginkgo is routinely recommended as a routine herbal supplement in otherwise healthy people. -Hemorrhoids -Altitude or motion sickness -Chemotherapy sickness Depression -Glaucoma, retinopathy and macular degeneration -Drug or alcohol dependency -Pre- and post-menopausal problems
