Ginko Biloba

Ginkgo is one of the most thoroughly researched herbs in Europe where it is commonly prescribed. It has a beneficial effect on the vascular system - the network of blood vessels delivering blood and oxygen to various organs in the body. Studies show that Ginkgo increases blood flow to the brain and helps in improving memory and reducing the signs of senility, including Alzheimer's disease. It also helps to prevent blood clots and works to improve circulation. Individuals experiencing tinnitus (`ringing in the ears') and vertigo (dizziness) have experienced significant improvement when using Ginkgo.
