It was thought by western scientists until fairly recently that Ginko biloba tree was extinct. Only fossils had been found here in North America. In the early part of this century it was introduced to western horticulture from China. It is a primitive conifer. An extract from the leaves or seeds is used medicinally for memory improvement and a wide variety of other ailments. Though my Dalmatian, who ate my first tree, seems to have gained nothing in the process. He still doesn't do what I tell him. The Ginkgo biloba leaves are collected as they turn yellow. The leaves are dried and pressed into bales. The desirable flavinoids are chemically extracted and concentrated into pill form. The medicinal effects are primarily cause by increased circulation. More oxygen to the brain, better thinking, or so goes the logic. There are studies linking a potential problem between consumers of aspirin or other blood thinners and Ginkgo biloba. Their blood thinning properties may be additive, use caution. The seeds are separated from their gelatinous outer skin and eaten.
