medicine to treat
circulatory disorders & enhance memory. Although not all studies agree,
ginkgo may be effective in treating dementia (including Alzheimer's disease)
& intermittent claudication (poor circulation in the legs). It also shows
promise for enhancing memory in older adults. Laboratory studies have shown
that ginkgo improves blood circulation by dilating blood vessels & reducing
the stickiness of blood platelets. By the same token, this means ginkgo may
also increase the effect of some blood-thinning medications, including aspirin.
People taking blood-thinning medications ought to ask their doctor before using
ginkgo.
