MEDICINAL PROPERTIES OF GINGO
Internal use
Circulatory system:
The ginkgo is one of the best remedies to improve blood circulation. The reason lies in the ability of extracts of this plant to dilate blood vessels and cause blood to flow more smoothly. It appears that flavonoids exert a vasodilating action on the walls of arteries and capillaries at the same time prevent platelets settle in blood vessels. This property can be applied to treat a number of diseases for which reason lies in the poor circulation. Among them mention a few as important as hypertension, arteriosclerosis, or poor circulation in general, both in the elderly and in young people starting to notice traffic problems. Other more localized ailments are:
Poor circulation in the legs and feet Poor circulation in your legs is causing pain and fatigue in the legs. With ginkgo may improve circulation and avoid the discomfort.
It has been demonstrated using extracts of this plant can improve a circulatory disease in the legs most painful and limiting usually appear between the elderly: intermittent claudication. This disease is a narrowing of the arteries in the legs that causes blood circulation is poor, little oxygen reaches the muscles and, therefore, that the legs hurt a lot after exercise or walk a little effort. (The usual dose is estimated at about 120 mg per day divided into three doses)
Also, as a result of poor circulation in the legs is very common in some people experience cramps in the calves when in the bed, especially at night or dawn to stretch their legs. (Administration of the same dose that the above problem can help solve the problem.)
Poor circulation in the coronary arteries:
Lack of irrigation of the heart due to obstruction of the coronary arteries in severe cases can cause heart attacks. Without reaching these ends the contribution of poor blood flow to the heart muscle can cause arrhythmias, need for more rapid breathing and chest pain. (Manage between 60 and 240 mg daily in 3 divided doses)
Poor circulation in his head:
Poor circulation in the brain is the cause of many serious and crippling disease. One of the most dangerous are strokes that can cause death or paralysis of body parts. The ginkgo extract improves circulation to the capillaries of the brain, increases resistance and helps to prevent breakage. The administration of 60 to 240 mg daily of this product not only guards against spills but also prevents a range of symptoms associated with poor circulation in the head: dizziness, ringing in the ears, poor speech, problems of memory, altitude sickness, dementia, lack of concentration, migraine, hearing loss, vertigo, etc.
Also used to combat Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, schizophrenia and multiple sclerosis, not only by improving the brain stem, but for its antioxidant properties that are able to fight free radicals responsible for cell damage and the appearance of many degenerative diseases. The degeneration of brain cells may influence the onset of the disease. (Manage between 60 and 240 mg daily of leaf extracts in 3 divided doses throughout the day.) Raynaud's disease causes poor circulation in the limbs with fingers and toes to turn blue or white, especially with the cold. The administration of ginkgo extract at the doses recommended above can help improve circulation in the extremities.
Poor circulation in the eye:
The hardening of the blood vessels can cause poor circulation in the capillaries of the eye, causing vision loss of macular degeneration. A poor diet with aggressive environmental conditions and the oxidation of the body are the cause of the appearance of free radicals, for which the vision is one of the most sensitive organs of the worst affected. (Managing about 120 mg per day of Ginkgo extract in three divided doses)
Poor circulation in the vessels of the penis:
A poor circulation in the vessels of the male sex may be one of the causes of male impotence. Improve circulation with ginkgo extract may promote erection and eliminate the problems of impotence. (Managing about 120 mg per day of Ginkgo extract in three divided doses)
Allergy:
Ginkgo contains a number of components called ginkgolides that inhibit platelet activating factor (PAF = Platelet Activating Factor, in English) responsible for the inflammatory processes that trigger many autoimmune diseases such as allergies or asthma. (Managing about 120 mg per day of extract of Ginkgo divided into three doses) (The same preparation is useful in case of other forms of allergy such as urticaria.
Depression has been shown that administration of extract of ginkgo is adequate to treat depression in older people, when the disease is associated with poor blood flow in the brain. Improving circulation, there is a greater blood supply to brain cells and improve the depressive processes.
Surf Combat:
There are studies that could demonstrate that the administration of extracts of ginkgo seeds can help to overcome the hangover symptoms because they contain enzymes that metabolize alcohol more quickly.

Trivia:
The ginkgo, a living fossil:
The ginkgo is the oldest tree in all that exist in the world. . It is the only living representative of a family that existed over 200 million years. We have written references to their existence in the eleventh century, but copies exist today with more than 1000 years old. The fossils found show that coexisted with dinosaurs. The first specimen was discovered in 1916. Was F. Meyer, an American explorer who found it in a hidden valley of China. The reason for their survival, other than a natural resistance to pests and the stench of their "fruits"that made ??that were not eaten by any animal, is in the fact that East has been considered a sacred plant, ground for which was planted around temples and is yielding a great veneration.
Its reproduction is very old. Higher plants or angiosperms are plants whose seeds are enclosed in fruits that are ripe ovaries. When reached, about 30 years of maturity, female ginkgo species produce a kind of yellow egg filled with large stocks before being fertilized by the male pollen. Naturally many of these "eggs"are sterile and rot without producing offspring.
Not necessary that fertilization occurs on the tree but can also be done on the ground, upon receipt by chance the wind-blown pollen. (Species anemófila) "Eggs" containing a single seed you need to contact the male pollen to mature. Unlike the rest of the seeds of the plant world, is not able to withstand a period of time without germinating, so that if no contact with the male pollen rot. For this reason, it is still not considered a real seed. This kind of reproduction is very primitive, is a very large expenditure of energy and does not look anything like the reproduction of superior trees is by true seeds. The leaves are clustered in groups of 3-5 on a few sprigs called strobili, as with the pines. In reality this tree, like pine, fir or redwoods, is a gymnosperm, is a plant that reproduces from seed des
nudas or eggs. Higher plants or angiosperms are called flowering plants whose seeds are enclosed in fruits that are produced by the ovaries fertilized at maturity. Thus, in higher plants but are no fruits after fertilization.
