Gingko biloba plant gains popularity for memory support
The gingko biloba tree, an East Asian species known for surviving the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, is seeing increased demand as a natural supplement. Its leaves, which contain approximately 40 different components, are being used as raw materials in the pharmaceutical industry for capsules, pills, and vitamins.
Herbalist Orhun Özfidancı notes that the plant is particularly popular among students preparing for exams, such as the KPSS, due to its purported ability to improve memory and combat forgetfulness by increasing blood flow to the brain through its effect on capillaries. Other reported benefits include aiding with tinnitus and hand tremors, as well as providing antioxidant properties.
Experts advise caution, noting that the plant has blood-thinning effects. Individuals currently taking blood-thinning medications are advised to consult a doctor before consumption.
