Ginkgo is a recognized medicine for insufficient cerebral circulation, peripheral vascular problems and for neuro-sensorial affections of circulatory origin relating to ears, nose, throat and eyes. It is a proved homoeopathic medicine. The pathogenesis covers weakness of memory and difficulty to think, trembling, insomnia, difficult deglution, ocular balls painful, heaviness in frontal region and vertigo, buzzing sensation of blockage of ears with diminution of auditive acuity, general lameness with chill, headache (cannot keep head straight without support); all symptoms are better by heat.

The pharmacology of Ginkgo biloba exhibited Prolyl endopeptidase (PEP) inhibition, suggestive of its role in learning and memory process, major depressions, and senile dementia. Studies have revealed that PEP activities are significantly higher in Alzheimer’s patients.2 Other studies suggest improvement of cerebral circulation aiding memory, helping cases of dementia; its anti-inflammatory action is deep down to auto-immune problems including multiple sclerosis; it inhibits platelet activating factor (PAF).3 PAF causes blood to become stickier and, therefore, more likely to produce blood clots, induces various inflammations and allergic changes. Research on the drug is continuing but the core action is improving cerebral circulation.
