About Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo biloba is a living fossil — the sole surviving species of the ancient order Ginkgoales. Native to China, it has been cultivated in Chinese temple gardens for over a thousand years and is one of the most widely studied botanicals in modern phytochemical research. The leaves are rich in flavonoids (including quercetin and kaempferol) and terpenoids (ginkgolides and bilobalide), which are the primary compounds studied in Ginkgo research. Ginkgo leaf preparations have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries and are among the most widely sold botanical supplements globally.

TCM Element Alignment

• Wood Element — Ginkgo Biloba Leaf: In traditional Chinese medicine, the Wood element governs the liver system and the smooth flow of qi and blood. Ginkgo is associated in TCM with the lung and kidney systems, but its flavonoid-rich, bitter-sweet character and its long history in preparations supporting circulation and vitality align with Wood’s association with movement, flow, and the liver’s role in regulating the blood. The bitter taste in TCM theory also bridges Wood and Fire, giving Ginkgo a cross-element character.
• Metal Element — Ginkgo Flavonoids & Terpenoids: The Metal element governs the lung system and the body’s protective boundary. Ginkgo’s TCM association with the lung system and its antioxidant-rich polyphenol profile align with Metal’s clarifying, boundary-defining, and protective character.
