5. Ginko Biloba
The benefits of using ginkgo biloba for asthma and bronchitis were first recorded around 2600 BC. Over the years, gingko had been helpful to manage many other health conditions — it helps improve memory problems associated with Alzheimer’s disease, headaches, mood problems (including depression), sexual performance, eye conditions (i.e. glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy) and many more.
In a placebo controlled study Gingko significantly increased FEV1 in children and young adults. Ginkgo can interfere with non-steroid anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and blood thinners.
