Ginkgo biloba, known as ginkgo or as the maidenhair tree. Although the seeds are most commonly employed in traditional Chinese medicine, in recent years standardized extracts of the leaves have been widely sold as a phytomedicine in Europe and as a dietary supplement in the United States. The primary active constituents of the leaves include flavonoid glycosides and unique diterpenes known as ginkgolides; the latter are potent inhibitors of platelet activating factor. Clinical studies have shown that ginkgo extracts exhibit therapeutic activity in a variety of disorders including Alzheimer's disease, failing memory, age-related dementias, poor cerebral and ocular blood flow, congestive symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, and the prevention of altitude sickness.

Rehmannia glutinosa, commonly known as the Chinese foxglove (Scrophulariaceae), is native to China, Japan, and Korea. The Chinese medical classic “Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing” (the earliest monograph on Chinese materia medica) lists R. glutinosa as a “top grade” herb. Traditional Chinese medicine uses three types of tuberous roots, namely, fresh, dried, and treated, to nourish the Yin (the negative, dark, and feminine, according to Chinese philosophy), abate pathogenic heat, strengthen the body, and replenish vitality. Modern pharmacological studies indicate that Rehmannia extracts exert broad-spectrum pharmacological effects on various human systems such as the circulatory, endocrine, cardiovascular, nervous, and immune systems. There has been a surge in the use of Rehmannia in treating ailments such as angiocardiopathy, diabetes, hypertension, vascular dementia, cerebral infarction, urinary tract problems, and menstrual disorders.
