Why people say it works
Ginkgo biloba has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries and is one of the most-studied herbs for cognitive support in modern research, with some studies focusing specifically on its effect on blood flow to the brain, which is thought to play a role in memory and mental clarity.
This is a traditional home remedy, not a medical treatment. Ginkgo can thin the blood, so check with your doctor before drinking it regularly if you take blood thinners or have upcoming surgery.
