Ginkgo: (Ginkgo biloba) Ginkgo is one of the best remedies to increase blood flow to the brain which is ideal for the treatment of many mental illnesses. Can be used to combat diseases such as Alzheimer’s or not only by improving the brain blood flow, but for its antioxidant properties that are capable of neutralizing free radicals responsible for cell damage and the onset of many degenerative diseases. The degeneration of brain cells may influence the onset of the disease. (Manage between 60 and 240 mg daily of leaf extracts in 3 divided doses throughout the day.)
