Ginkgo trees are primitive plants which appeared during the Jurassic and were common until the end of the Tertiary period. Ginkgo trees are extremely resilient to environmental stress, especially pollution. Ginkgo trees have been used in Oriental medicine for 5,000 years. The Chinese Emperor Chen Nong was among the first to class plants according to their therapeutic properties. He ranked ginkgo trees among superior medicines, mainly because of their stimulating effects on blood circulation.
Ginkgo trees were the only trees to survive in Hiroshima after the atomic bomb and have become a symbol of longevity. The oily extract of ginkgo leaves contains some terpenoids with soothing and antibacterial effects.
