Gingko Biloba

Ginkgo Biloba (Ginkgo biloba), commonly known as the maidenhair tree, is a species of tree native to China. It is considered a "living fossil" as it is the only surviving species of the order Ginkgoales, which first appeared over 290 million years ago. Its leaves have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, and today it is one of the world's most popular herbal supplements for supporting brain function and blood circulation.
