Description:
Ginkgo leaf is from a tree that has survived intact for 200 million years. I'm glad it did because ginkgo has some wonderful properties. Ginkgo improves circulation to the head, thus helps to dry up sinus drainage. In addition, ginkgo can stop ear ringing (tinnitus), macular degeneration, cochlear deafness, and vertigo. Ginkgo can control coughing brought about by sinus drainage, too.

In addition, Ginkgo interferes with a substance the body produces called platelet activation factor which is involved in conditions ranging from asthma attacks to blood clots. Ginkgo is a wonderful herb to help with some of the problems of aging such as memory loss, stroke, heart attack, leg pain and impotence from narrowed arteries.

Traditional Uses:
Stress Relief, Immune System, Cholesterol, Liver Protector. Caution: Do not take this herb if you are taking psychotherapeutic drugs.

Description:
Siberian Ginseng is the number one herb for relieving stress and here's how you can "test" its effectiveness. Think of something that has been stressful for you. Your body reacts just as if the stress were real, now. Take 2 Siberian Ginseng. Wait 10 minutes and think about the same stressful situation. Most people report that after taking the ginseng, the stressful thought does not bother them as much. This ginseng has other wonderful properties, too. It is an immune stimulant, it reduces bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol, it protects the liver from the harmful effects of alcohol, drugs and chemicals.

Traditional Uses:
Antibiotic, Controls Bleeding, Natural Insulin, Diarrhea, Cholera. Caution: Do not take during pregnancy.

Description:
Goldenseal is a good antibiotic but the characteristic that sets it off from other herbs is the fact that it is an excellent hemostat, it can control or stop bleeding internally such as from excessive menstrual flow, ulcers and other internal bleeding conditions.

In addition, Goldenseal is a source of natural insulin which would aid a person with diabetes. As an antibiotic, it is especially effective where infection and bleeding are occurring such as with infected gums. It is effective with infectious diarrhea and even cholera.

With some herbs, you will see the whole plant used. Goldenseal is an example as both the leaf and root have similar properties. The root of any plant will always have the strongest properties as compared to the leaf or stem. With some herbs, only the leaf is used. Ginkgo is an example of this type herb. The ginkgo leaf is actually the leaf of a tree and that is the only part used herbally.
