Abstract

Ginkgo biloba also known as ‘maidenhair tree’ is a therapeutic herbal medicine consumed by people around the globe and is commonly used to treat neurological and cardiovascular disorders as well as neurological illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and cognitive impairment. As it is rich in vitamins and has a number of bioactive compounds which are helpful in treating many health-related issues. This review aims to cover the beneficial side of Ginkgo biloba like its pharmacological effects, antidiabetic effects, anti-inflammatory effects, and its role in treating diseases
