It is said that the ginkgo tree is full of treasures, and its leaves, roots, and skin can be used as medicine, with high edible and medicinal value. Ginkgo, which matures in autumn, is also used for both medicine and food. It is believed that many people have picked up ginkgo or ginkgo leaves to eat at home. But some people also say that ginkgo biloba leaves are toxic and cannot be consumed. So what are the facts? Recently, the reporter interviewed An Peng, the deputy chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, and the head of the acupuncture and moxibustion external treatment group.

Ginkgo biloba, also known as Ginkgo biloba, Gongsun tree, or Duck foot tree, is a rare tree species that only survived in China after the Quaternary Glacier. It is known as the "living fossil" or "giant panda of the plant kingdom". Ginkgo biloba leaves have a sweet, bitter, astringent taste, and a calm nature. They have the effects of promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis, unblocking collaterals and relieving pain, astringing the lungs and relieving asthma, and resolving turbidity and lowering blood lipids. Modern pharmacological research shows that ginkgo biloba extract has obvious effects on the treatment of coronary heart disease, angina pectoris and hyperlipidemia, and is now widely used in the treatment of coronary heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes and other chronic diseases. Ginkgo biloba is a dry and mature seed of Ginkgo biloba. According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, "Ginkgo biloba can warm the lungs and replenish qi, calm asthma and cough, reduce feces, and stop white turbidity." Modern pharmacological research has confirmed that Ginkgo biloba can prevent and treat cardiovascular and central nervous system diseases, and has good therapeutic effects on hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebral blood supply deficiency, and degenerative dementia.

Anpeng said that ginkgo cooked food has the effect of trapping lung qi and calming cough and asthma. It can be added to dishes as auxiliary materials, such as fried lily with ginkgo, fried shrimp with ginkgo, Congee with shredded chicken with ginkgo, sweet scented osmanthus, ginkgo red jujube soup, ginkgo barley soup, etc. It can also be made into salt baked ginkgo, preserved ginkgo, suitable for patients with chronic cough and asthma, or stewed soup, which can nourish the kidney and cure frequent urination.

chronic pain and support from friends and family

But the ginkgo leaves and fruits picked in the wild on the street must not be consumed directly. An Peng stated that ginkgo biloba is a gymnospermous plant, and gymnospermous plants have no fruit, so ginkgo biloba is not a fruit of ginkgo biloba, but a seed. Ginkgo biloba contains toxic substances such as ginkgo biloba phenols, cyanosides, and white fruit acid. If eaten raw without high temperature treatment, it may lead to poisoning, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, limb weakness, and difficulty breathing. Ginkgo biloba can be eaten, but it cannot be eaten raw or eaten too much. It must be cooked. Especially for the ginkgo biloba trees on the street, which are regularly sprayed with pesticides and contaminated by past car exhaust, the heavy metal content is not low. It is recommended not to eat the ginkgo biloba or leaves grown on these trees
