Buyer will receive 4 oz. Bag of Ginkgo Biloba
Here are the main health benefits of Ginkgo leaf (Ginkgo biloba):
🧠 Brain & Cognitive Health
May improve memory and concentration by increasing blood flow to the brain.
Studied for supporting people with dementia, Alzheimer’s, and age-related memory decline.
Some evidence suggests it can sharpen focus and mental clarity in healthy adults too.
❤️ Circulation & Heart Health
Helps dilate blood vessels and improve blood flow.
May reduce symptoms of poor circulation like cold hands/feet, leg pain when walking (claudication), and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
Can support cardiovascular health by enhancing oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues.
🌿 Antioxidant Protection
Rich in flavonoids and terpenoids, strong antioxidants that fight free radicals.
May help protect cells, nerves, and DNA from oxidative stress and aging damage.
Antioxidant effects could also support eye health (age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma).
😌 Mood & Mental Well-Being
May reduce anxiety and stress levels by balancing neurotransmitters.
Some studies suggest benefits for mild depression.
👁️ Eye & Ear Support
Improves blood flow to the eyes, potentially slowing vision loss.
May help with hearing issues like ringing in the ears (tinnitus) caused by poor circulation.
⚠️ Precautions:
Can thin blood — avoid mixing with strong blood thinners (like warfarin, aspirin) unless cleared by a doctor.
Possible side effects: mild headaches, dizziness, upset stomach.
Not recommended before surgery (due to bleeding risk).
📦 Storing
Once fully dry, store in an airtight glass jar or tin.
Keep in a cool, dark place.
Label with the date (best within 1–2 years).
🍵 Preparing Ginkgo Tea
1. Ingredients:
1–2 teaspoons dried ginkgo leaves
1 cup hot water (not boiling, around 175–185°F / 80–85°C)
2. Steps:
Place leaves in a teapot or infuser.
Pour hot water over them.
Steep 5–10 minutes.
Strain and enjoy plain, or add honey/lemon.
⚠️ Start with 1 cup daily and see how your body reacts before increasing.
Great! 🌿 Here’s how you can make a Ginkgo Tea Concentrate — a stronger extract that you can store in the fridge and use daily.
🍵 Ginkgo Leaf Tea Concentrate
Ingredients
1 cup dried ginkgo leaves (lightly crushed)
4 cups filtered water
Optional: honey or lemon (added only when serving, not during storage)
Steps
1. Place the dried ginkgo leaves in a non-aluminum pot (stainless steel or glass is best).
2. Add the 4 cups of water.
3. Bring to a gentle simmer (not a rolling boil) and cover.
4. Simmer for 20–30 minutes to extract the compounds.
5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
6. Strain through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
7. Pour into a clean glass jar or bottle (preferably dark-colored).
8. Store in the refrigerator.
Storage Life
Keeps up to 5–7 days in the fridge.
Discard if you notice sour smell, cloudiness, or mold.
How to Use
Drink ½ to 1 cup daily, either warm or cold.
You can mix with hot water to dilute, then add honey or lemon to taste.
⚠️ Tip: This is milder than tinctures but stronger than regular tea. If you want it extra concentrated, you can double the leaves (2 cups leaves to 4 cups water).
