Reduces Symptoms of Psychiatric Disorders and Dementia
Ginkgo Biloba alleviates symptoms of anxiety. According to the Journal of Psychiatric Research, people with a general anxiety disorder who took Ginkgo Biloba have milder symptoms than those who took the placebo. One study also found that the extract of Ginkgo Biloba, also known as EGb 761, was clinically effective in treating dementia caused by Alzheimer’s. It stabilizes and improves the cognitive and social functioning of patients with dementia. In addition, Ginkgo Biloba extract increases circulation and makes the platelets sticky, preventing embolism and atherosclerosis. The increased blood flow in the brain lowers the risk of mental deterioration and dementia in elderly patients.
Researchers believe that Ginkgo Biloba improves the symptoms of patients diagnosed with psychiatric disorders and dementia because it protects the brain and other neuronal parts. They also concluded that Ginkgo Biloba helps alleviate symptoms of anxiety and stress. This is proven in a study conducted on refugees and war survivors prone to mental health diseases like anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and trauma. Analysis showed that Ginkgo Biloba and psycho-education help the refugees and war survivors alleviate tension.
