MAIDENHAIR TREE (GINKGO BILOBA) – INTRODUCTION
I first came across the tree called Ginkgo biloba some years ago, while on a visit to the Far East. There were some very fine specimens near Nagasaki, Japan – the city destroyed by an atom bomb. The trees had fortunately survived. Now Ginkgo biloba is also grown in Europe’s temperate zone, its leaves containing the same active substances as those grown in Asia. In fact, I planted a maidenhair tree, as it is also called, in my garden ten years ago, and it is doing well.
As a result of our modern life-style and environmental disruptions, vascular diseases have increased considerably; in this context it seemed appropriate for me to take a closer look at the Ginkgo biloba tree. My contact with Dr Wilmar Schwabe and his research team enabled me to gain a thorough knowledge of the medicinal effects of this extremely valuable plant, and it is noteworthy that preparations made from it have caused no side effects whatsoever. In cases where the brain does not receive sufficient blood, the tincture made from the leaves has proved to be efficacious. Also, a deficient supply of oxygen to the brain can be remedied quite rapidly, which is very important after a stroke. Blood viscosity, that is, its consistency and rate of flow, will improve in a short time. This makes it possible to eliminate the symptoms of a defective circulation, such as headaches, buzzing in the ears, problems with hearing and sight, depression, and a state of fear and panic.
