Gingko biloba uses include treatment of: cerebral insufficiency, improvement in short term memory, improvement in long distance vision where problems are associated with macular degeneration. Relief of impotence due to poor blood flow, tinnitus, and intermittent claudication (Fisher & Painter, Materia Medica of Western Herbs).

There have been clinical trials demonstrating gingko biloba uses in the above. It is also proven to have an antibacterial effect, as well as protect against problems arising from excess noise. Great news if you're in a band or your teenage son is!
