The Chinese ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) tree bears a small, brownish-white nut that is used to treat asthma, coughs, wheezing, leukorrhea, and bladder irritability. The ginkgo nut is also considered to have detergent properties and an antibiotic effect against many pathogenic bacteria.

A bonus of its consumption is that the Ginkgo Biloba Nut is believed to aid digestion and is reputed to expel intestinal worms. Since ancient times in Japan, the leaves have been placed between the pages of books to protect them from insects. The seed coat has also been used as an insecticide.

Ginkgo Biloba Nut Extract is a light to medium amber liquid with a characteristic odor. It is used in skin cleansers, creams, lotions, ointments, shampoos, and hair care products.
