Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Ginkgo flavone glycosides, derived from the leaves of Ginkgo biloba, have a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine for various cognitive and neurological conditions, including anxiety and memory problems. The primary rationale for their use in anxiety stems from traditional practices rather than robust scientific validation. Some modern studies have explored Ginkgo's effects on anxiety, with mixed and generally modest results. A few small randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses suggest possible mild anxiolytic effects, potentially due to Ginkgo's antioxidant properties and modulation of neurotransmitter systems, especially GABA and serotonin. However, these studies often have methodological issues, such as small sample sizes and inconsistent dosing regimens. Major medical guidelines do not endorse Ginkgo flavone glycosides as a primary or evidence-based treatment for anxiety. Overall, while there is some emerging scientific interest, the bulk of support for Ginkgo's use in anxiety remains rooted in traditional usage, and the scientific evidence is currently limited and inconclusive.
