Background and Use
Ginkgo biloba is the world's oldest living species of tree. Individual trees live as long as 1,000 years. Ginkgo grows most predominantly in the southern and eastern United States, southern France, China, and Korea. Although its medicinal use in China originates 5000 years ago, it was not until this the 20th century that the leaves of the tree were first used in European herbal medicine.
In the United States Ginkgo is one of the top-selling herbal supplements. In France and Germany it is one of the most popular prescribed medicines. This popularity can be attributed to large number of successful clinical studies that have been published. The Federal Government's Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) research program is currently funding several studies featuring this herb.
