Ginkgo Leaf

Mind, Body, and Spirit

Introduction

Ginkgo extracts are the most widely used herbal products in North America and Europe today. Most of the ginkgo capsules you find on the market are actually extracts of ginkgo leaves made by bathing them in hexanol and evaporating the toxic solvent away to make a concentrated slurry of a single healing chemical. This herb is also referred to as Ginkgo biloba, and Maidenhair Tree.
