Maiden hair or famously known as Ginkgo Biloba is prominent globally for its therapeutic properties. It is recognized as one of the toughest trees to survive way back 300 million years ago. It is considered to be one of those endangered plants because there are only two populations found to grow in the wild today, which are found both in two separate locations in China.
Ginkgo Biloba’s therapeutic use was started by the Chinese and Japanese in the ancient times. And according to long time studies, Ginkgo Biloba can increase cognition in people who has dementia. It is also proven that its extract improves memory, concentration, and long-distance vision as well. Continuous research since ancient times also shows that Ginkgo Biloba contains anti-oxidant that leads to improvement of nerve function and regulates blood flow to the brain and the nervous system. There have been reports also that it has helped in reducing blood viscosity.
Extensive research of its healing properties has extended in different countries like Germany, America, and France. The Ginkgo Biloba extract has demonstrated effectiveness in the treatment of Short-term memory loss, Vertigo, Vascular Diseases, Cerebral insufficiencies, cerebral circulatory stimulations, Tinnitus, Retinopathy, Menopause, Dementia, and even Depression.
Researchers continue to study about Ginkgo Biloba for a lot of other conditions, including ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), other psychological conditions, diseases that are vascular in condition, and also multiple sclerosis.
It has been proven also that Ginkgo Biloba can treat impotency. Since the main cause of impotence in male is impaired blood circulation through the penis, which can result to atherosclerosis or plaque buildup on the arteries. The increase in blood flow with the help of Ginkgo Biloba already helped male patients after six months of use.
The effects Ginkgo Biloba usually provides benefits inside our body. However, there are also problems outside our body that we also wanted to address. It may have something to do with our skin or rather any part of the body that concerns our appearance. Like for some males, they unfortunately have “man boobs.”
“Man boobs” or Gynecomastia is the medical term for the enlargement of male breasts. It is not caused by extra fat deposits in the chest area. Men with this condition have swelled glands and as a result, has larger breast.
It may appear as it seems that man has breasts, which causes insecurities and difficulties with wearing clothes to hide their “man boobs.” This usually occurs in older men, and sometimes in teens during their puberty stage.
Gynecomastia is a result of increased estrogen levels or female hormone and decreased levels of androgens or male hormones. This is why increased estrogen levels cause the breast tissue to grow. In time, this hormonal imbalance can be corrected for children. However, it does not completely remove their “man boobs.”
Recent study show that the intake of Ginkgo Biloba helps in decreasing the size of “man boobs.” Ginkgo Biloba promotes collagen production, which tightens the skin and it prevents skin from wrinkling and sagging. The effect of Ginkgo Biloba improving the blood circulation will also help in regulating hormones so the body will produce the right hormones and eventually lessen the swelling of the gland.
That is why Ginkgo Biloba does have a therapeutic effect on treating Gynecomastia due to its medicinal properties that were proven since the ancient times.
