Is ginkgo leaf tea good for health?

　　Ginkgo leaf tea is beneficial healthy ?

　　Ginkgo leaves contain a large amount of flavonoids with antioxidant properties. Experiments have shown that flavonoids can improve the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular functions of experimental animals and have certain anti-tumor effects. However, ginkgo leaves also contain ginkgo acid, which is also a substance that causes people to be poisoned by eating ginkgo.

　　In fact, commercial ginkgo leaf health products are specially processed, and the content of ginkgo acid in them is controlled below 5 parts per million. If unprocessed ginkgo leaves are used to make tea, it is likely to cause ginkgo acid poisoning, with symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. Therefore, if you collect ginkgo leaves by yourself and take them, you should carefully consider whether you have any indications and whether you need to take them. You must not take ginkgo leaves as a supplement.
