🌿👀 WHICH ONE OF Y’ALL CAN TELL ME WHAT THIS TREE IS?
ADHD has nothing on this plant, nor does peripheral nerve damage…
I KNOW one of my Herbies knows! 😂
Look at those unmistakable fan-shaped leaves.
🌳 This is Ginkgo — Ginkgo biloba.
And yes… I may or may not have taken a few leaves. Mind your business. 😭🌿
Ginkgo is probably best known in herbal medicine for its relationship with cognitive function, memory, attention, and circulation. Its leaves contain several important groups of constituents, particularly flavonoids and terpene lactones, including ginkgolides and bilobalide.
But here’s the herbal-literacy part. 🧠👇🏾
When you hear:
“Ginkgo is good for memory!”
I want you to start asking…
🌿 WHY?
🌿 What constituents are present?
🌿 What physiological actions are being studied?
🌿 What preparation was actually used in the research?
Because the leaf growing on this tree and a standardized Ginkgo extract aren’t automatically interchangeable. Preparation, concentration, dose, and safety matter.
And THAT is why we’re not just memorizing:
“Ginkgo = memory.”
We’re learning the PLANT. 🌿🧠
Don’t just ask what an herb is for. Ask what it DOES.
