The German botanist, Engelbert Kaempfer is thr first European to discover the Ginkgo biloba tree. Originally, he discovered the Ginkgo biloba tree while in China in 1690. Following this, he lived in Japan from 1690 to 1692 while writing his book Amoenitatatum exoticarum released in 1712. Kaempfer originally named the tree ginkgo, which originates from two Japanese words. Maidenhair tree concentrates The ancient Asian tree ginkgo biloba has proven to have many good qualities to treat different health related problems. Due to a recent increase in the natural way of treating illnesses, there is in the market a concentrate made from leaves and stems of ginkgo biloba trees. Once the ovules have been fertilized they get a plum aspect but with a yellow tone. Due to the fact that the fertilization takes place on the tree, the maidenhair tree is an essential part of the natural environment for plants. Despite the fact that the seeds have a terrible smell, some people in Japan include the ginkgo seed as part of their diet. Due to the presence of Vitamin P, concentrates of this tree are used to improve memory, and it is now being studied to see if the use of this extract can have any impact on Alzheimer's disease. The extract of this tree can also be used to increase blood circulation. In a recent study twenty women with claudication problem had the extract and their leg pain was significantly reduced. People who suffer from more serious illnesses will have to take a higher dose in order to experience an improvement in their condition. If you suffer from any brain disorder the suggested intake is 120-140 milligrams of concentrate twice or three times a day. People who suffer from leg pains and loss of balance should have 120-160 milligrams twice or three times a day. Doctors recommend pregnant women and women who are breast-feeding their babies not to take ginkgo products to avoid any complications. In a recent research, scientists discovered that women who use ginkgo products during the gestation period can have a hight level of colchicine (an alkaloid) in the vascular structure that would inevitably affect the unborn baby.
