Botanical Overview

Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest living tree species, often referred to as a “living fossil,” with a lineage dating back millions of years. Native to China, the tree is now cultivated globally, and its uniquely shaped leaves have been used in traditional preparations for centuries.

The dried leaves are typically light green to pale olive in colour, with a slightly herbaceous aroma and a mild, slightly earthy flavour. At Health Embassy, the leaves are gently dried and cut to retain their characteristic appearance and natural properties, making them ideal for infusion-based preparations.

Traditional Use

In traditional herbalism, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf has been appreciated for centuries across both Eastern and Western practices. In East Asia, particularly in China, the leaves were often dried and brewed into simple teas or added to multi-herb formulas prepared as infusions or decoctions. These preparations were commonly incorporated into daily herbal routines or seasonal regimens, valued for their distinct properties and natural character.

Today, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf continues to be chosen for its historical relevance and versatility, offering a botanical link between generations of herbal knowledge from different parts of the world.

Herbal Preparation Methods

Ginkgo Biloba Leaf can be used in a variety of preparations depending on your preferred method, whether you’re aiming for a mild herbal tea or a more concentrated decoction. Its dried, cut form allows for flexible use—ideal for experimenting with different strengths or combining with other herbs for personalised blends.

Infusion

Use approx. 1–2 teaspoons of dried Ginkgo Biloba Leaf per cup
Place in a heatproof container or teapot
Pour over 250ml of boiling water
Cover and let steep for 5–15 minutes

Decoction
