Journal/Book: therapeutikon. 1989; 2: 82-91.

Abstract: The tree, ,Ginkgo biloba" is the only one out of a very old class of plants tat has survived up to now. Culti-vated in the gardens of Asia many centu-ries had gone by before the plant was brought to Europe in the modern times. Its importance in the popular medicine remained a little one. Nevertheless, in therapy Ginkgo biloba has become a very important therapeutic agent. Espe-cially, extracts of the leafs proved to be efficient in the treatment of circulatory disturbances of the brain and of cerebral disorders. Flavonole glycosides, ginkgo-lides and bilobalide are supposed to be the active substances.
