GINKGO BILOBA FOR DEMENTIA

The seeds and leaves of ginkgo biloba have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. The tree is planted throughout the world, including the United States. In Western medicine, the focus has been on treating depression and memory loss. In Germany, an extract of ginkgo biloba is approved for the treatment of dementia. Ginkgo has been claimed to improve mental functioning and slow the dementia characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease. The mechanism of action seems to be related to increasing the blood supply to the brain by dilating blood vessels, decreasing the viscosity of the blood, and modifying the neurotransmitter system. Ginkgo exhibits a very low incidence of side effects; however, it may increase the risk of bleeding in patients taking anticoagulants.
