I just saw a health topic from Dr Weil's healthy living with the title " Ginkgo: Don't Do It Yourself " it said that :
Ginkgo biloba is one of the most well researched herbs in the world, and is full of antioxidants and flavonoids. Ginkgo supports healthy circulation to both the brain and extremities of the body. Studies suggest that this traditional Chinese remedy is capable of improving cognitive function as demonstrated by increased mental sharpness, better concentration, and improved memory.
If you try ginkgo for memory enhancement, you probably won't notice effects for six to eight weeks. Look for products standardized to 24 percent ginkgo flavone glycosides and 6 percent terpene lactones; the dose is 60 to 120 milligrams twice a day with food.
The tinctures and capsules of ginkgo biloba that you buy in stores contain extracts of leaves of the tree that is widely planted in cities and parks in North America. But I'm sorry to tell you that leaves you collect from these trees won't do you any good.
In fact, they're more likely to irritate your stomach than to provide any of the positive effects you might expect. The extraction process used to make the popular herbal remedy removes the irritants and concentrates the beneficial components.

Well..after I read this upper news I think may be it is true..it is very dangerous if we don't know and make it by our self.
