The ginkgo tree is the oldest living fossil of the plant world

The temple tree (Ginkgo Biloba L.) is the last representative of a line of 290 million-year old tree species, which are neither coniferous nor deciduous trees.
Except for the temple tree, all others are extinct. Ginkgo has been nurtured and honoured as sacred for thousands of years in the East Asian temples, which is why it survived. Furthermore, it was ensured that the male and female trees grew very close to each other in the temple gardens, which is not possible to maintain in nature, since humans needed more and more wood.
The dainty and mysterious form of its leaves, which consist of two “lobes” gives the ginkgo tree its byname: biloba means bilobed.

During the course of the millennia, ginkgo leaves were used as a remedy for various health-related issues

Ginkgo has always been regarded as energising and life-prolonging. The Chinese and Japanese have honoured ginkgo as sacred for centuries and they ask the trees to grant them their wishes. Underneath its leaves, women ask for milk to feed their children and farmers ask for rain to reap a rich harvest. Ginkgo trees can be found in myths, folk tales and stories.

Ginkgo is mostly known for its circulation-promoting properties

The vasodilatory properties also affect lower located arteries, without lowering the blood pressure too much. Ginkgo especially promotes the brain circulation, which is why the leaf extract is a popular supplement for forgetfulness and for promoting the mental performance.
Gingko extracts have radical catching properties. The effect is primarily attributed to the flavonoids. Furthermore, they inhibit the platelet-activating factor (PAF) in the blood, which plays a role in inflammation.
