For thousands of years, the Chinese have used the leaves and fruit of the ancient ginkgo tree to restore memory and ease breathing problems. In recent decades, ginkgo extract has become one of the more commonly prescribed medicines in Western Europe. It is also attracting widespread attention in North America, where it is widely known as "the smart herb". To answer all your questions about ginkgo, Dr. Georges Halpern has written Ginkgo: A Practical Guide. Here is an easy-to-understand guide to using ginkgo, based on the latest scientific findings.
Ginkgo improves circulation to every part of the body, including the brain. As a result, it is effective in both treating and preventing a wide range of disorders, such as cardiovascular disease, vision problems, brain injury, asthma, impotence, and allergies. It improves overall brain function and has been proven to aid memory. Breakthrough studies indicate that gingko may even be able to reverse some of the ravages of Alzheimer's disease, especially in the early stages. In Gingko: A Practical Guide, you will find everything you need to know about this amazing herb -- its history, its cultivation, and its many beneficial effects on the body.

You will also learn what forms of this herb are available, where you can find it, how you can choose among the available products, how much you should take, and how you should take it.
Drugs may alleviate symptoms or fight disease, but herbs like gingko actually promote health and prevent disease. Gingko: A Practical Guide will show you how you can use gingko wisely and safely for maximum benefit to your health.
