One of the most popular and widely used plants in human medicine is Ginkgo biloba, which is more commonly known simply as "ginkgo." The use of ginkgo in the treatment of memory and intellectual deficits seen in persons with Alzheimer's disease or in persons who have had a stroke is very well established. Although its use has been associated with serious bleeding problems in a few people, ginkgo is both very safe and very effective. Ginkgo--like all therapeutics employed in the treatment of human disease--is best used in combination with other synergistic therapies under the supervision of a knowledgeable physician.
Ginkgo is a powerful herb, useful for the treatment of many conditions. When used in the right patients within the context of a complete and personalized plan, it is even more effective.
