Ginkgo biloba, also known as the temple tree, is one of the oldest living tree species, with roots tracing back over 270 million years to ancient China. Revered in traditional Chinese medicine, its leaves and seeds were used to support respiratory health, digestion, and circulation.
Buddhist monks helped preserve and spread the tree across East Asia, planting it at temples as a symbol of peace and longevity. Historical texts dating back to 2800 BC document its medicinal use.
Today, Ginkgo biloba is valued for its natural compounds – flavonoids and terpenoids – which act as antioxidants. It is known to support:
