Ultimate Support to Improve Memory
Ginkgo is the oldest surviving species of tree and is often referred to as "the living fossil". Fossil records indicate that it probably originated during the Permian period about 250 million years ago. The tree ranged worldwide during the Paleozoic era and went into decline before the Ice Age, eventually retreating to the mountain forests of China. That ginkgo is the only living species of its family speaks of the tree's hardiness. The first green growth to emerge in the city of Hiroshima after the atomic blast was ginkgo.
The medicinal properties of ginkgo were first recorded around 2800 BC. In Chinese folk medicine the leaf was used as an antitussive, antiasthmatic, and anodyne. The modern day therapeutic effect of ginkgo is well established. In Europe it is one of the most widely prescribed medications for the treatment of cognitive deficiency. It's truly amazing that ginkgo, an ancient tree seeded millions of years ago, has survived to impart such a profound healing influence on human physiology.
