I have heard of ginko biloba and the benefits of taking it. My wife's aunt his early onset Alzheimer's her doctors recommended that she try ginko biloba first to see if it helped with her memory. They also recommended that family members start taking it. With some of the side effects, I would be cautious giving it to a child with ADHD.

The search for a new anti-migraine drug was started by Glaxo in 1972. In the 1960s, studies showed that vasoconstriction from 5-HT, ergotamine and nor-adrenaline could reduce migraine attacks. Research also showed that platelet 5-HT level reduces during migraine attacks. Many side-effects were associated with the use of 5-HT as a drug and then scientists started research on the receptors of 5-HT in order to discover and develop a more specific agonist for 5-HT receptors. Research on the 5-HT receptors and their effect led to discovery of several types and subtypes of 5-HT. AH24167 showed a vasodilatory effect instead of vasoconstrictory due to the agonist effect on another type of 5-HT receptors later assigned the name 5-HT7. AH25086 was the second compound developed and showed a vasoconstrictory effect but was not released as a drug due to low per oral bioavailability.

I grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and went ginseng hunting a few times as teenager. It was a rare tree then and you would spend hours walking around the woods just to find a few trees. As the demand grew more and more people are hunting for it and some of them do so with very little care for the future of the plant. We used to look for the stem scars on the top of the rhizome, the wrinkles on the top of the root as you called it, by digging around the trunk a little to see if the tree was mature enough to harvest. Many people now dig them up and then check to see if they are mature enough which kills the young plant. The high demand and price has led to it being even more rare and considered a threatened species.

Ginseng is a perennial plant that is used as medicine in many places in Asia such as China, Korea and Thailand for thousands of years. It was shown that frequent consumption benefits a lot of different medical conditions, and it is also believed to be able to increase vitality and leads to long life span (Yadav, 2017).

Cerebral stroke, the second leading cause of death, each year affects nearly 15 million people above the age of 60 years, worldwide, is manifested through several mechanisms such as excitotoxicity, over production of free radicals, inflammation and apoptosis that cause severe brain damage and may ultimately lead to death. Since currently available stroke therapies are not much effective; therefore, it is an urgent need to test and develop some novel and more effective treatment strategies for the efficient management of cerebral stroke. Fortunately, recent reports showed that plant-derived flavonoids have potential neuroprotective actions against an array of neurodegenerative diseases including the stroke. For example, the standardized extracts

Ginkgo has been used for thousands of years, and it’s particularly popular in China, where its favorite use is for impotence problems amongst men! It’s great for circulation, hence its use for erectile problems and it’s also believed that this powerful plant can improve the memory. Like with any medication, Ginkgo does have negative side effects for some people, and people who’re currently taking medication to thin the blood need to get the okay from their doctor before trialing it out.

Studies have shown about the effect of vinpocetines to human. It is said that 25 years of Hungarian doctors used this to cure different disorders specially those related to the blood vessels in the brain. These studies

Gingko Bilboa is an amazing plant source to take alongside the plant that I wrote about, St. Johns Worts. When taking Gingko Bilboa and St. Johns Worts together, there will be an additional amount of neurotransmitters such as gamma and niacin. A well-rounded anxiety/ADHD supplement system is created when taken with an additional source of L-theanine (Editor, n.d.). Thankfully this is an established plant that is not primarily sought after within areas that may exploit people for their resources, such as biopiracy.

As stated in the reading, AB is a 37 year old male that complains of fatigue and exhaustion even with getting enough sleep. I would suggest ginseng because it would provide AB with a sufficient amount of energy he needs.Asian ginseng is a herb within the plant family, Araliacea that can be found in cold woods. Ginseng is mainly ripe in the summer months and can be easily mistaken for American ginseng which is slightly different. The roots of the ginseng plant are used for medicinal purposes.It has been scientifically proven that it increases resistance to stress, helps build energy, and stimulates activity within the body. It also can be found in various forms such as teas, capsules, powders, and tablets. There are always possible adverse reactions

I do not agree with the Food and Drug Administration’s current policy of not testing herbal remedies. In my opinion, there are natural compounds out there that can be very beneficial to the public, however they are not supported due to this policy. Alternatives to current pharmacology methods should be looked at. A drug is a substance that introduced to animals or humans that creates a desired effect or response, both chemically and biologically. Drugs can be both positive and negative. Ginkgo biloba is a drug in the fact that it may cause a biological effect once introduced to a human or animal. However, given the current popular definition of a drug, Ginkgo biloba is not a drug because it is classified as a herbal remedy. Given

Ginkgo Biloba has two main pharmacologically active components: terpene lactone and ginkgo flavone glycosides(quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin). The flavone glycosides components acts like antioxidants, free radical scavenger, enzyme inhibitor which improves cerebral metabolism and protect brain tissue against cerebral hypoxia. Studies also shows that Ginkgo may improve cholinergictransmission to the brain through inhibition of acetylcholinesterase which thus have implication to Alzheimer

Herbal medicines are great alternative for commercially manufactured medicines available in the market. The major reason why herbal medicine differ from modern medicine is because they are produced with 100% natural content.
