What is ginkgo biloba?

Ginkgo biloba is the only surviving tree of the genus Ginkgo, which has unusual fan-shaped two-lobed leaves. From a biological point of view, scientists have not yet reached a consensus on the question: "What is Ginkgo biloba?". According to one of the most common versions, along with other extinct species of the Ginkgo family, it is considered a transitional link between ancient ferns and modern conifers. In the wild, the plant grows in several provinces of China, where it was able to survive the glaciation period and was preserved largely thanks to Buddhist monks who planted trees near their temples and thus domesticated ginkgo.

Due to its high adaptability, cultivated varieties of Ginkgo biloba are cultivated in botanical gardens and city parks around the world, especially in Asia. The plant adapts well to environmental changes and tolerates adversity, for example, several ginkgo specimens survived the bombing of Hiroshima, and six trees that were near the epicenter are still growing today.

The fruits, seeds, and leaves of Ginkgo biloba have been used in Chinese folk medicine for about a thousand years, where the plant is used in the following cases:

Ginkgo leaves contain a complex of active substances, the effects of which are being studied by modern science. First of all, these are ginkgo biflavones and ginkgolides, which are unique to this plant, as well as phenolic acids, polyprenols, alkylphenols, glycosides (quercetin, kaempferol), terpene trilactones and other components.
