Ginkgo, the oldest living species of tree in the world, has been used medicinally for almost 5,000 years in Traditional Chinese Medicine.  While the nuts of the tree were most commonly used to treat respiratory tract ailments, more recently ginkgo leaf extract has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including asthma, bronchitis, fatigue, tinnitus, and  memory loss.  In Japan, ginkgo is the very symbol of longevity and regeneration, and was the first tree to grow back in Hiroshima after the 1945 atom bomb attack.
