What is it used for?
Based on studies conducted in laboratories, animals, and humans, many health care professionals may recommend ginkgo for the following health problems:
• Dilation of blood vessels (Resulting in improved flow of blood to and from tissues all over the body, especially the brain)
• Increasing the oxygen content of the blood (It has been shown that oxygen- rich blood enhances the memory)
• Improved cellular transmission (Ginkgo biloba both increases the amount of neural transmission and increases the number of receptor sites for neural transmission.)
• Improved cognitive function
• Inhibiting Platelet Activating Factor (PAF)
• Improved cerebral metabolism (Treatments with Ginkgo biloba extract have been shown to result in improved cerebral metabolism and a reduced risk of hypoxic damage to the brain)
• Fighting Free Radicals (Ginkgo is an extraordinary free radical scavenger that is particularly effective against the superoxide anion (-02), a dangerous free radical that has been directly or indirectly implicated in cell damage.)
Contraindications and cautions:
The use of herbs is a time-honored approach to strengthening the body and treating disease. Herbs, however, contain components that can trigger side effects and interact with other herbs, supplements, or medications. For these reasons, herbs should be taken with care, under the supervision of a health care provider qualified in the field of botanical medicine.
Because gingko decreases platelet aggregation (stickiness), there is some concern that it may increase risk of intracranial (brain) hemorrhage. In fact, there have been several reports of bleeding complications associated with ginkgo use. However, it is not clear whether ginkgo or another factor (such as the combination of ginkgo and blood-thinning medications including aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents such as ibuprofen) caused the bleeding complications.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid using ginkgo preparations. In addition, ginkgo use should be discontinued at least 36 hours prior to surgery due to the risk of bleeding complications.
Side effects:
GBE is considered to be safe, and side effects are rare. In a few cases, gastrointestinal upset, headaches, skin reactions, and dizziness were reported.
Interactions: Ginkgo may alter the metabolism and effectiveness of some prescription and non-prescription medications. If you are being treated with any of the following medications, you should not use ginkgo without first talking to your health care provider:
• Anticonvulsant medications
• Antidepressant medications
• Antihypertensive medications
• Blood-thinning medications
• Blood sugar lowering medications
• Cylosporine
• Thiazide diuretics
• Trazodone |
