Excessive vaginal discharge is one of the most common symptoms in gynecological practice, with causes including bacterial infections, vaginal trichomoniasis, cervical diseases, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, and atrophic vaginitis.
Ginkgo nuts, also known as maidenhair tree seeds, possess lung-tonifying, asthma-relieving, leukorrhea-stopping, and urine-reducing properties. They primarily treat asthma with phlegm, leukorrhea, cloudy discharge, nocturnal emissions, frequent urination, unexplained swellings, and skin rashes.Regular consumption of ginkgo nuts nourishes yin, enhances complexion, combats aging, dilates capillaries, promotes blood circulation, and results in a rosy complexion, vibrant spirit, and longevity.In gynecology, ginkgo nuts are most reliably effective for astringent effects, stopping leukorrhea, and eliminating dampness. For treating cloudy leukorrhea, whether due to deficiency in the lower energizer causing thin, clear discharge, or damp-heat descending causing yellowish, turbid discharge, they can be used in formulae tailored to the specific pattern.
Research indicates that ginkgo acid and ginkgol in ginkgo nuts possess antibacterial and bactericidal properties. Ginkgo water extracts also inhibit various fungi to varying degrees, making them effective in regulating vaginal flora imbalances. Women troubled by such issues may find it beneficial to incorporate ginkgo into their routines.
