Hi their,
Do you think the Ginkgo Biloba is helping with some of the circulation issues we have? I am all for natural stuff.

I am taking Omega 3's right now.
Hugs, Roz

I'm not sure why it helps me. Usually I can identify what drugs are doing but not always.

There seems to be a circulation problem in my case because using the hand over my head tends to be worse than other activities. I also have more psychological symptoms than a lot of people. It can be hard to maintain proper body temperature and the like. These could be circulation issues and the drug might be easing them.

I stumbled on this early because I was having memory troubles right away and people told me it was good for memory. It didn't help memory but every time I tried to quit taking it the symptoms would get worse.

It hasn't been a wonder drug for me but it seems to take the edge off. I'm not recommending necessarily so much as wondering if anyone else has found a use for it.

Ginkgo’s ability to improve blood circulation to the brain and extremities makes it useful for many conditions. Hundreds of scientific studies performed over the past 50 years have demonstrated its effectiveness in treating hearing and vision problems, impotence, edema (water retention), varicose veins, leg ulcers, and circulatory diseases such as stroke and intermittent claudication (pain while walking). In animal studies, Ginkgo extract increased the ability of acetylcholine, a brain chemical, to bind to a receptor site. Reduced receptor binding of this neurotransmitter has been reported in Alzheimer’s disease.
