How to drink Ginkgo leaf water

Ginkgo leaves are something with medicinal value, and the history of using ginkgo leaves is very long. Because ginkgo leaves contain a lot of chemical components, some chemical substances have a good regulating effect on human health and can also treat some diseases. Therefore, many people use ginkgo leaves to make tea, hoping to achieve the purpose of health care. Let’s take a look at some ways to drink ginkgo leaves soaked in water.

Fresh ginkgo leaves contain toxic ingredients. If used to make tea without any processing, drinking too much may cause symptoms such as paroxysmal convulsions, nerve paralysis, and allergies. Ginkgo leaf medicines or foods that have been processed and refined can play their role in promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and unblocking meridians and relaxing collaterals.

If you want to treat high blood pressure or heart disease by drinking ginkgo leaves in water, this is very unscientific. Not only will it not make the disease disappear, it may even harm your health. The details are as follows:

1. Ginkgo leaves contain a relatively large amount of ginkgolic acid, which is a substance that is somewhat toxic. Scientists have discovered through experiments that ginkgo leaves, even without any processing, contain very high levels of ginkgolic acid. In addition, ginkgolic acid has a certain degree of water solubility. After soaking it in water and drinking it, it not only does not contain ginkgo biloba lactone and ginkgo brass that everyone believes are beneficial to health, but the content of ginkgolic acid is very rich, which is harmful to the body and has no benefits.

2. The side effects of ginkgo leaves are relatively large. If you eat too much, it will cause poisoning. The main symptoms are muscle cramps and dilated pupils.

3. Studies have found that the main ingredient in ginkgo leaves is a flavonoid chemical that can effectively inhibit platelet activation factor. Therefore, if taken for a long time, it will inhibit platelet aggregation function and increase the risk of cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, the elderly must pay attention to the appropriate amount when taking the medicine and have regular physical examinations. They must not do it blindly, especially for patients with diseases such as senile vascular sclerosis. They should not take it for a long time, otherwise it will increase the risk of cerebral hemorrhage.
