Can ginkgo leaf be directly used for tea making? Let's learn about the effect and function of ginkgo leaf tea.
Can Ginkgo biloba leaf directly make tea to drink?
Ginkgo leaf is the dry leaf of Ginkgo biloba (white fruit tree, Gongsun tree). Ginkgo biloba is a kind of plant with high medicinal value. Ginkgo biloba is an ancient tree species in China. It is a magical tree for medical treatment. Its leaves, fruits and seeds have high medicinal value. Its pharmacological effect is constantly recognized and its clinical application scope is gradually expanded.
The shape of Ginkgo biloba leaf is very similar to a small fan. There are small waves on the edge. There are many fine lines on the leaf surface. The petiole is long and thin. According to traditional Chinese medicine, Ginkgo biloba has a sweet, bitter and astringent taste. It has a calm nature, a return to the heart and lung meridians. It can astringe the lung, promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and relieve pain. It can be used to treat cough, asthma, heartache and other diseases caused by lung deficiency. Modern medical research also found that ginkgo can treat coronary heart disease, angina, hyperlipidemia and so on.
Many people will pick up or pick up ginkgo leaves to drink. Whether Ginkgo biloba is good for the body when it is directly used to make tea is always a controversial issue. Some previous viewpoints believed that Ginkgo biloba leaf can also prevent and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases when it is directly used for tea drinking. However, with the deepening of the current study on ginkgo leaf, people gradually found that drinking ginkgo leaf directly into tea is not necessarily good for the body.
Ginkgo biloba leaves contain a lot of ginkgolic acid, which is toxic. Generally, the picked or picked leaves have not been processed and extracted deeply, and the content of ginkgolic acid in them is as high as 3000-4000ppm. Especially, ginkgolic acid is water-soluble. A bubble of water does not eat the effective substances such as ginkgo brass and ginkgo internal fat, but the effect is the opposite. It is full of poison. Therefore, if you drink ginkgo leaf tea directly, you will not get more active ingredients. Instead, you may drink toxic ingredients. Therefore, this is not only unscientific, but also dangerous.
If you need to take Ginkgo biloba, you should take some ginkgo biloba preparations according to the doctor's advice, with good effect and less side effects. Even if you want to make tea to drink, it is generally appropriate to take 5-6G, fried or boiled water. However, Ginkgo biloba itself has hemolytic effect. If it is taken in large quantities for a long time or at the same time with anticoagulant drugs, it may have internal bleeding, paroxysmal spasm, nerve paralysis, allergy or other side effects. Therefore, it is not suitable to take it continuously for a long time.
