GINGKO LEAF WHOLE

Description

Profile: The world's oldest living tree species is the ginkgo biloba. Ginkgo trees are only found in a limited area of China where they are native, yet they are widely grown throughout the world. Due to its abilities to enhance wellness, ginkgo leaf has a long history of usage in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The leaves, which are also known as gingko, can be used to make herbal extracts, infusions, and formulations.

Details:

The ginkgo is the oldest plant species still in existence, dating back more than 225 million years. For more than 5 years, ginkgo leaf has been among the top ten selling herbs in the United States, and a standardized extract of the leaf is currently one of the most popular plant-based treatments in Europe.

There has recently been a lot of interest in the plant's potential to improve health due to the discovery of a variety of active chemicals in the leaves. Ginkgolides, a class of chemicals not found in any other plant species, are found in the leaves. The greatest time to harvest the leaves is in the late summer or early fall, just as they start to turn color. For subsequent usage, they are dried.

Ginkgo aids healthy circulation and overall cognitive function.

Ginkgo leaves that have been dried are regarded as "sweet" and have a mild effect. They can be included into extracts, capsules, and teas.

The ginkgo tree, a native of China, is stunning and distinctive both aesthetically and physiologically. One of the planet's oldest species, the ginkgo, has been around for more than 225 million years. Only two known regions of the Chinese province of Zhejiang contain wild populations of the ginkgo. Ginkgoes are nevertheless widely planted in China and some regions of the United States, and they have naturalized populations in some Asian countries. The Ginkgoaceae family includes ginkgo.

Surveyors looked at how the bombing of Hiroshima at the end of World War 2 affected the local plant population. Six ginkgo trees survived the bombing despite the destruction; the nearest is still alive and can be found less than 1200 meters from the epicenter. This tree is recognized as a global representation of resiliency, and the ginkgo itself is known as a "carrier of hope."

Ginkgo trees are slow-growing and remarkably durable; they can live for over a thousand years. Small, globular fruits with a unique, disagreeable smell are produced by the female trees. As a result, many farmers solely distribute male trees that don't bear fruit.
