Ginkgo biloba, often known as the ginkgo tree, is appreciated for its numerous health benefits, especially regarding improved blood circulation and brain function. The leaves contain a wide range of active compounds, including flavones such as quercetin and kaempferol, as well as terpene lactones (ginkgolides). These components are responsible for its antioxidant and vasodilatory effects. It is recommended to brew one tablespoon of leaves per cup of water, let steep, strain, and consume three times daily.
