Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease is a brain neurodegenerative disorder, which is characterized with
coordinative and cognitive dysfunctions with significant loss of memory. By the terms of
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) the Alzheimer’s disease may occur because of: spleen or
liver Qi deficiency with phlegm, spleen and kidney yang deficiency, Qi and blood stagnations and
others. With the use of Ginkgo biloba the stagnated energy, the excretion of the mucus and blocked
blood can be mobilized and the blood circulation can be promoted to the brain. This study includes
5 patients, 4 women and 1 man, aged from 55 to 78. All patients have the disease for more than 2
years and main symptom in all is dementia. All patients have done certain number of acupuncture
treatment and were prescribed Ginkgo biloba 1g per day. After starting the treatment all patients
have stated that their health condition is improved, their memory is better and are feeling warmth
and circulation to the head and neck. For a chronic and lifetime disease like Alzheimer’s, the
treatment with Gingko Biloba is also for lifetime and it is shown to be successful in its aim to slow
down the progression of the disease and release the symptoms.
