What are the medicinal values ​​of ginkgo leaves?

As everyone knows, the ginkgo tree can bear ginkgo fruits, which are the ginkgo nuts we usually eat. The ginkgo nuts are particularly rich in medicinal value and nutrients. In addition, ginkgo leaves also have good medicinal value. It is also a traditional Chinese medicine. It is particularly effective for regulating the human body and treating diseases. So, what is the medicinal value of ginkgo leaves? Let’s learn more about it through the following introduction.

Improves blood flow and acts as a vasomotor. With age increase and excessive use of the brain, according to statistics, more than 80% of people have varying degrees of cerebral insufficiency or poor blood circulation, which leads to arteriosclerosis and numbness of hands and feet. Most middle-aged people often suffer from high blood lipids and blood viscosity. Ginkgo leaves can significantly improve the symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the brain. They can also improve blood circulation by dilating blood vessels, reducing blood viscosity and organizing platelet deposition, helping to dilute the blood and inhibit thrombosis without any side effects. Ginkgo leaf extract is a powerful free radical scavenger and metabolism enhancer, which can prevent harmful free radicals from oxidizing brain cells and promote brain cell metabolism, thereby significantly enhancing brain function and delaying brain aging. Currently, ginkgo leaf preparations are widely used in major hospitals in Europe and the United States to improve blood flow in patients' blood vessel endings and blood circulation. Ginkgo leaf products can strengthen cerebral arteries or peripheral blood vessels, restore elasticity to hardened blood vessels, and dilate narrowed blood vessels; they can make the diameter of blood vessels normal and even lower the cholesterol level in the blood. They are also vascular regulators, anti-vascular embolic agents, and anti-cardiovascular disease agents, and have a blood pressure-lowering effect on patients with hypertension.

Anti-aging. Eliminating free radicals in the human body, Ginkgo biloba lactone has the effects of neuroprotection and anti-aging of nerve endings. At the same time, the terpenoids and flavonoids in ginkgo leaves can resist cell peroxidation, cell necrosis, and scavenge free radicals, so ginkgo leaves can play an anti-aging role. Ginkgo leaf extract improves skin blood circulation, promotes and stimulates hair growth and skin care, and has beauty and anti-aging effects. Studies have found that terpenes and biflavonoids in ginkgo leaves can effectively prevent cytoplasmic peroxidation, resist cell necrosis and scavenge free radicals. Ginkgo biloba is a strong antioxidant that slows the production of free radicals (which some believe are the cause of premature aging, cancer, and other diseases).

Through the above introduction, we know the medicinal value of ginkgo leaves. In addition, ginkgo leaves also have the effect of improving memory. Especially for the memory decline of middle-aged and elderly people, it has positive therapeutic significance. It can promote brain circulation and directly protect the brain nervous system. It is also called "cognitive enhancer."
