21 Health Benefits of Gingko
1) Research has reported benefits of ginkgo for the treatment of altitude (mountain) sickness.
2) Age-associated memory impairment (AAMI) is a nonspecific syndrome, which may be caused by early Alzheimer’s disease or multi-infarct dementia (conditions for which ginkgo has been shown to have benefit).
3) In early research, ginkgo was shown to be effective in the treatment of patients with acute hemorrhoidal attacks.

This condition, more commonly diagnosed in Europe than the United States, may include poor concentration, confusion, absentmindedness, decreased physical performance, fatigue, headache, dizziness, depression, and anxiety. It is believed that cerebral insufficiency is caused by decreased blood flow to the brain due to clogged blood vessels.
5) Overall, the scientific literature does suggest that ginkgo benefits people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease and multi-infarct dementia, and it may be as helpful as acetyl cholinesterase inhibitor drugs such as donepezil (Aricept®).
6) Numerous studies suggest that Ginkgo biloba taken by mouth causes small improvements in claudication symptoms (leg pain with exercise or at rest due to clogged arteries).

20) Ginkgo has been used and studied for the treatment of sexual dysfunction in men and women.
21) Laboratory studies suggest that ginkgo may be helpful immediately following strokes, because of possible antioxidant or blood vessel effects.
