Description

**Tincture of Ginkgo Biloba** --Ginkgo Biloba-- Other Names: Gingko, Ginkgo, Maidenhair Tree, Fossil Tree Oftentimes regarded as the oldest living tree species, Ginkgo Biloba is certainly at least one of the oldest. Its history dating back to the Permian Period (~250 million years ago), the Ginkgo tree grew rapidly and spread throughout the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, where fossils have been found on multiple continents. It was thought that Ginkgo became extinct after the Cretaceous Period, however in the 1600's it was discovered that Ginkgo survived the Ice Age and was found growing in China. It was none other than Ginkgo Biloba that was the only variety of Ginkgo to survive, which demonstrates the tree's adaptability, resiliancy, and resistance to disease. Native to China, Ginkgo Biloba has been widely cultivated and can now be found growing nearly all over the world. This tree's most distinguishing characteristics are the fan shaped leaves as well as the nut-like seeds which drop from the tree in early autumn. They can also live for more than 1000 years and grow up to 120 feet in height. As a medicine, Ginkgo Biloba's use extends as far back as 5,000 years ago in China. The seeds were the focus of it as an ancient medicine, however most studies that are currently performed on the health effects of this tree are done on the dried green leaves. Ginkgo Biloba is commonly used for cognitive support, providing enhanced mental capacity and function, boosting energy, improving the mood, heightening focus and concentration, and improving social behaviors . This tree not only has a remarkable story, but it has served as an incredible source of medicine and food for humans throughout many different cultures and time periods. This is truly a timeless plant that will certainly remain as a critical part of health and medicine for generations to come.

Dosage: Typical dosage is 30 drops, no more than three times per day. How to take it? Our tinctures contain 40% grain alcohol in order to preserve the quality of the solution. Since alcohol can have a rather offensive taste, we have a number of suggestions for how to ingest this: Place the drops directly under the tongue and chase with a small glass of water, juice, or any other fluid that may taste more pleasant Place the drops directly in an ounce or so of water or other fluid and drink that If serving to children under the age of 21, or if you want to avoid the harsh taste of the alcohol, you can either let the tincture sit out or heat it up on very low heat , until the alcohol evaporates (alcohol evaporates faster than water) About our tinctures: Pure Health tinctures are a great alternative to herbal teas, capsules, and pills. They are fast acting and last for years when stored properly. We pride ourselves on selling the highest quality tinctures available. We use only the finest, highest quality herbs from reputable growers all over the world. Pure Health tinctures contain 40% grain alcohol, rather than what has become the industry standard of 30% or less (watch out for companies that list it as 50 proof, that just means it contains 25% alcohol). Alcohol is what ensures that each tincture is completely sterile and free of any bacteria, spores, or microbes. We also use high quality extracts instead of actual plant material to maximize the concentration of the solutions and minimize the amounts of plant material floating in each tincture. Other suppliers claim to use large quantities of plant material, but they do not specify whether it is fresh or dry. Fresh plant material contains 80% or more water by weight. We exclusively use dehydrated plant materials to ensure potency, purity, and reliability of strength. We are confident that we provide the highest quality tinctures available. If you are not 100% satisfied with your order, we will either give you a replacement or a full refund.
