Ginkgo is a tree with a long-standing tradition. This genus of tree already existed on our planet over 200 million years ago. Even today, these majestic giants can be found growing wild in China. Thanks to its strong adaptability to various conditions, ginkgo is now cultivated worldwide. This “living fossil” is easy to recognize by its fan-shaped, irregularly notched leaves that glow a soft light green in summer. In autumn, the ginkgo is particularly beautiful when its leaves turn a brilliant yellow. To reach its impressive height of up to 40 meters, the ginkgo tree requires a lot of time, as it grows slowly. In general, ginkgo seems to follow the motto “good things take time.” It can take up to 20 years before the tree produces its first flowers and seeds. Perhaps that’s why the seed kernel is considered a delicacy in many Asian countries. For our products, we use only natural, untreated ginkgo leaves, as they contain the highest concentration of active compounds. As always, we place great emphasis on absolute purity and maximum quality. The role of Ginkgo in Traditional Chinese Medicine In Traditional Chinese Medicine, ginkgo has been part of the standard repertoire for over 5,000 years. Its effects are so highly valued that ginkgo is even seen as a symbol of longevity and health. The significance of this healing plant is especially evident in the reverence shown to ginkgo trees by Buddhist monks. For centuries, it has been customary for monks to chew ginkgo leaves preventively to maintain mental clarity in old age. But not only monks appreciate its properties—folk medicine also recognizes the leaves for their health-supporting effects. Knowledgeable TCM doctors and practitioners attribute many positive properties to ginkgo. It is believed to strengthen heart Qi, stimulate the mind, move the blood, and resolve water retention. The leaves of the ginkgo tree contain a wealth of secondary plant substances, including flavonoids, ginkgolides, tannins, and essential oils.
