Ginkgo - Is It Safe? And Can This Strange exercise Replace It?

Is Ginkgo the marvellous herbal remedy for loss of memory that we have all been led to believe? First used for corrective purposes by the Chinese over 5,000 years ago, Ginkgo has long been carefully to be of vital point in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease and circulatory problems.

But press reports of late February 2008 have questioned the value of Ginkgo biloba by suggesting it has slight supervene on those with memory problems, whilst at the same time maintaining it increases the risk of a stroke.

In this description we're going to briefly recite the pros and cons of these recent findings, and look at an unusual exercise that can help you reap the benefits Ginkgo offers, without unmistakably having to take it.

What set off this press venture was a research study published by Oregon State University. It reported that of 59 volunteers given three Ginkgo tablets a day over a three year trial, seven suffered a stroke or mini-stroke, whereas of the 59 who were not given Ginkgo, but a placebo instead, none suffered strokes.

On the face of it this seems to fabricate that taking Ginkgo tablets or supplements does unmistakably growth the risk of a stroke. But the defenders of this well-known herb argue that strokes are caused by blood clots, which are not a known side supervene of taking Ginkgo. It is known for sometimes causing excessive bleeding, but that in itself is not related to strokes.

As to the herb's supervene on memory, 21 of the men and women aged 85 and over who comprised the volunteers developed memory problems over the three year period, but only 7 of them were in the group that were taking the genuine Ginkgo tablets. And here there is a query mark, apparently, over either all the volunteers remembered to take all the tablets as instructed.

So the only thing most commentators, either pro or anti herbal remedies, can agree upon is that added tests should be carried out. After all, it's no good taking Ginkgo biloba to heighten your memory or preclude Alzheimer's disease if you're thereby addition the risk of a stroke advent along and blasting all your memory improvement out of the water.

Although a stroke doesn't necessarily affect memory, it doesn't do much for your mental (or physical) health either.

Are there any other herbs that can heighten your memory apart from Ginkgo biloba? There are three other main herbs that have been known to have useful effects, and they are Bacopa Monniera (known as water hyssop), Club Moss and Siberian Ginseng. There's also Lecithin, an passage of soya beans, which can help preclude age-related memory disorders, as can large doses of vitamins C and E.

No recent studies appear to have been done on any of these, so it may be unfair on Ginkgo to feature its potential defects when similar studies on any of the alternative treatments could well throw up disadvantages just as serious.

Be that as it may, there is an alternative recipe for fighting memory loss and preventing diseases such as Alzheimer's. It involves nothing more than a few very simple exercises you can do practically anywhere. One of these can heighten your memory over time, help dissolve headaches, and even relieve arthritic pain that in itself often impedes concentration.

Locate the two hollows at the base of your skull on either side of the very top of your spine. They're regularly two to three inches apart, depending on the size of your head. With your fingers spread upwards towards the top of your head, press with your thumbs into these hollows for one minute.

All the while breathe deeply through the nose and relax. You can close your eyes if it helps, but the important thing is to relax and breathe deeply, using your full lung capacity. If you do this once or twice a day you should find that it's not long before you experience all the benefits of a better memory, easier attentiveness and a determined lack of headaches. All the things that Ginkgo promises, in fact.
