What is it used for?

Historically, ginkgo has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years to treat asthma, bronchitis, fatigue and ringing in the ears (tinnitus).

Today, people use ginkgo leaf extracts hoping to

• improve memory;
• treat or help prevent Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia;
• decrease intermittent claudication (leg pain when walking due to poor blood flow); and
• treat sexual dysfunction, multiple sclerosis, tinnitus and other health conditions.
