Abstract
This review focuses on various phytochemical activities of Ginkgo biloba. Human intelligence and self-expression are thought to be enhanced by it. It is utilized for culinary and cultural purposes, as well as in the Indian traditional medicinal system in a variety of Ayurvedic formulations. Anti-spasmodic, anti-protective, anti-hepatotoxic, and antioxidant properties are all present in Ginkgo biloba. Despite the high medicinal promise of this plant, few recent reviews have addressed its pharmacology and other relevant issues.
