Can Ginkgo Biloba help treat asthma symptoms?

Question

I am thinking about taking Ginkgo Biloba to help control my asthma symptoms and I am for people that had success doing this and how much Ginkgo Biloba they took?

Answer 1

It has no known effect on asthma.

Don't waste your time.

Answer 2

According to studies reported at a doctors' conference in Florence, Italy, in 1986, ginkgo reduces the susceptibility of children to various allergic substances and thus greatly decreases the frequency of asthma attacks.*

I have a recipe for a Ginkgo Throat Spray for asthma. It is used like an inhaler. I gave the recipe to one of my customers and she said it worked as well as her prescription.

1 teaspoon tincture of ginkgo leaves

5 drops chamomile essential oil (optional but helpful)

1/4 cup water

Combine ingredients and store in a sprayer bottle. Shake well before each use. Use as needed to keep airways clear.

Answer 3

I've never heard that ginkgo can treat asthma. What I've heard is that it prevents Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia and age-related cognitive decline. It is sometimes called "smart drug". I don't think it has anything to do with asthma, though. But of course, I could be wrong.
