Ginkgo biloba is often helpful in menopause as well as a variety of other health situations. Ginkgo, or gingko as it is sometimes spelled, is very safe. For these reasons it is well worth considering using it in menopause.
Ginkgo And Menopause
Gingko biloba is a circulatory stimulant and this helps it to relieve certain menopause symptoms. These menopause symptoms include:
* Poor memory
* 'Muzzy' brain
* Cold hands and feet, and
* Low libido
These are symptoms which are often reported in menopause. There is a great deal of clinical research into ginkgo biloba which gives confidence that it can often help in the conditions mentioned.
Ginkgo's helpful effects on 'muzzy' brain and poor memory can be explained by its good effects generally on improving blood supply to the brain. The brain, being in receipt of extra blood, puts it to good effect, nourishing and cleansing the brain cells.
It Is Worth Giving Ginkgo A Try
Improved blood supply to the brain will not only help the brain physically, but also emotionally. Improving blood supply is highly beneficial for the brain. This is what is behind Indian yogis standing on their heads; not that I am suggesting you do that -- but that is the rationale behind it!
Cautions
There have been a very few reports of bleeding being experienced by those taking ginkgo alongside blood thinning drugs. So, best avoid ginkgo if you are taking these. For similar reasons, discontinue ginkgo 48 hours before you undertake any surgery.
Dosage
The usual dosage of capsules is 1-2, 3 times a day: of the fluid extract, 10-30 drops, 3 times a day: of the tincture, 1/2-1 teaspoon, 3 times a day: of the standardised extract -- follow the directions on the pack.
Take any of these for a three months course and see if you find this helps you.
Ginkgo Summary
In summary, ginkgo is a very valuable herb in general, and it has properties which lead to it being particularly helpful in menopause. Try ginkgo and give it at least a couple of months to see if it starts to help you. If so, try continuing with it for 3-6 months.
