Scientific studies done on this famous species all support and validate most of the claims. Latest evidence shows that Ginkgo could be effective in treating decreased blood flow to the brain, especially in the elderly.

There are two types of chemicals in Ginkgo leaves, flavonoids and terpenoids, which are thought to have very strong antioxidant properties resulting in aiding those who have Alzheimer’s disease.

Flavenoids
Flavonoids are widely distributed in plants and fulfill many functions. Flavonoids are the most important plant pigments for flower coloration producing yellow or red/blue pigmentation in petals designed to attract pollinator animals.

In higher plants, Flavonoids are involved in UV flitration, symbiotic nitrogen fixation and floral pigmentation. They may act as a chemical messenger or physiological regulator, and can also act as cell cycle inhibitor.

Flavonoids secreted by the root of their host plant help Rhizobia in the infection stage of their symbiotic relationship with legumes like peas, beans, clover, and soy. Rhizobia living in soil are able to sense the flavonoids and this triggers the secretion of Nod factors, which in turn are recognized by the host plant and can lead to root hair deformation and several cellular responses such as ion fluxes and the formation of a root nodule. In addition, some flavonoids have inhibitory activity against organisms that cause plant disease e.g. Fusarium oxysporum. [source: Wikipedia]

Terpenoids
The terpenoids, sometimes called isoprenoids, are a large and diverse class of naturally occurring organic chemicals similar to terpenes, derived from five-carbon isoprene units assembled and modified in thousands of ways. Most are multicyclic structures that differ from one another not only in functional groups but also in their basic carbon skeletons. These lipids can be found in all classes of living things, and are the largest group of natural products.

Plant terpenoids are used extensively for their aromatic qualities. They play a role in traditional herbal remedies and are under investigation for antibacterial, antineoplastic, and other pharmaceutical functions. Terpenoids contribute to the scent of eucalyptus, the flavors of cinnamon, cloves, and ginger, the yellow color in sunflowers, and the red color in tomatoes. Well-known terpenoids include citral, menthol, camphor, salvinorin A in the plant Salvia divinorum, and the cannabinoids found in Cannabis.

The steroids and sterols in animals are biologically produced from terpenoid precursors. Sometimes terpenoids are added to proteins, e.g., to enhance their attachment to the cell membrane; this is known as isoprenylation. [source: Wikipedia]

The Ginkgo plant as a tree produces fruit that is not edible; the seeds being poisonous to humans. Most of the studies in the past and currently being performed on Ginkgo are done using the leaves.

It is claimed that Ginkgo truly can improve cognitive functions such as thinking, learning, and memory, improve activities of daily living and social behavior, and lessen the feelings of depression. Further studies show that the flavonoids can also help with retinal problems, blood circulatory problems in the legs, memory impairment, and tinnitus.

Many doctors are recommending Ginkgo for treatment or discomfort associated with altitude sickness, asthma, depression, disorientation, headaches, high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, and vertigo.

Ginkgo may also reduce the side effects of menopause, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease. The option to take a course of Ginkgo is certainly more appealing than the prescription medication option which can have unpleasant side effects. Children under the age of 12 should not use Ginkgo and in adults it usually takes about 4-6 weeks before you will see any significant results. More and more people are becoming aware about Ginkgo as an anti-aging aid since it is proven that it possesses powerful antioxidants which can help ward off the free radials.

Many healthy people now include Ginkgo Biloba or Ginkgo Biloba plus Ginseng as a daily herbal supplement to improve powers of concentration and enhance their memory. Testimonials claim that Ginkgo helps reduce mental fatigue and stress created by our busy, modern lifestyle.

Men are taking Ginkgo Biloba to prevent against impotency and increase sexual fertility. Asian people have used Ginkgo Biloba for many years and its’ success is not in doubt in places like Thailand and China.

In contrast to traditional Chinese medicine, which uses acupuncture to manipulate the pressure points, Traditional Thai Massage stimulates these same points with a healing touch which allows the points to suffer less stress and encourage life energy or Prana to flow freely without restriction.

As well as enhancing the energy flows, Thai Traditional Massage works intensely on the physical body. Starting at the feet and progressing up to the head the body will have gentle but firm pressure applied with the palms and thumbs, as well as relaxing stretching of the limbs and back.

In this way it works effectively on skin, muscle, the organs and the skeletal structure. Blood and lymph circulation is increased and waste substances are removed from tissues. Thai Traditional Massage is a gift for the body, energy with a relaxed heart and peaceful mind.

Traditional Thai Massage is a way to prevent sickness. It helps to dissolve blocks before they manifest psychologically or physically, and it also improves flexibility. Injured athletes, as well as those suffering from handicaps or stress can benefit from its’ healing power. Thai massage is rooted in spiritual tradition and its purpose is to heal a person physically, emotionally and spiritually. Traditional Thai massage should not be confused with sensual type oil massages.

Thai Massage is relatively new to modern spas, but it was actually developed by Buddhist monks in Thailand as a healing medium 2,500 years ago.

The massage takes place with the client fully clothed [loose fitting clothing] on a futon mat on the floor. Some spas will provide suitable clothing to wear, others will ask you to wear something loose and comfortable.

The therapist literally uses his or her whole body, including the feet, to move your body into various positions during Thai massage, so in some ways it feels more intimate than a Swedish massage, where you lay on a massage table and are covered with sheets.

Thai Herbal Hot Packs can also be used and these allow heat and aromatherapy to penetrate the skin and muscles relieving tension dramatically and bringing a feeling of warmth and well being to the whole body. Another variation on the basic form is a traditional Thai ayurvedic oil massage, this is performed with minimal clothing, and uses oil appropriate to your dominant dosha (ayurvedic body type).

The traditional practice of Herbal Medicine in Thailand is a mix of Ayurveda, ancient Chinese Medicine and the healing wisdom of indigenous tribes.

The Thai traditional healing system, though indigenous, is drawn mainly from Ayurveda. With the arrival of Chinese migrants to Thailand, aspects of traditional Chinese Medicine have also been integrated into traditional Thai Medicine, along with healing practices of the indigenous hill tribes of neighboring Burma, Laos and Cambodia. This wide ranging blend of local healing tradition has much to offer for the Western lifestyle aswell.

The earliest known work on Asian herbs appeared in China as early as 100 B.C.E. Li Shih-chen’s (1386–1644) chronicle of herbal medicines (1578), which has been used for the last four centuries, consists of 52 volumes, cataloging 1,898 herbs or substances and a total of 11,096 separate prescriptions.

In herbal medicine, there are four main diagnostic methods: visual inspection, inquiry, auscultation and smelling, and pulse diagnosis. The pulse reveals specific aspects of a person’s health. Taking a pulse is, therefore, one of the diagnostic acts of an Asian herbalist doctor.

The doctor tries to identify the psychosocial, environmental, and dietetic causes of symptoms, and prescribes remedies, including advice on psychosocial issues.

A firm belief is that the use of medicines must be assisted by nourishment of the body. Herbal therapies often provide nutrients for the body to overcome illness and to build up the body’s defense against disease. Good medicines and nutrients replenish and strengthen the essence of “Qi.”

When Qi, which flows through channels and collaterals (jing and luo) in the body, is blocked or out of balance, illness or pain ensues.

Traditional Thai medicine is adapted from the Chinese wisdom and the practices which Thai people have inherited from their ancestors and passed down from generation to generation.

A Holistic Approach

In Thai philosophy, a life is seen as a combination of body, mind, and spirit. These echoes the Ayurvedic principal that man is a three-part comprise Shareer (body), Manas (mind), and Chitta (consciousness). Holistic medicine follows a balanced approach to healing through a combination of therapies designed to strengthen the body’s own defenses, instill a sense of mental and physical harmony, and eradicate disease from the root by promoting a naturally healthy lifestyle.

When thinking about traditional Thai healing, perhaps the first thing that comes to our minds is the Thai massage pronounced Nuad Boran in Thai. However, more than being just a spa therapy for relaxation, Thai massage is a medical treatment used to treat diseases and disorders of all kinds, especially stress, sore muscles and back pain. The underlying tenet of the Thai massage routine is the theory of the sen, or the energy lines.

Although at first glance there seems to be some similarity between the Thai and the Chinese systems, these meridians are quite different. The sen, like the Ayurvedic nadi, do not correlate with any organ system the way the Chinese meridians do.

The Thai meridians all begin at the navel and end at the extremities of the body. Rather than correspond to a single organ, the Thai meridians may be used to treat any organ system through which they pass along their course. Traditional Thai massage also utilises medicinal herbs in its’ practice.

For some time, the scientific community in the West looked upon traditional remedies in the East with suspicion. The former could not accept the claim of the latter without objective scientific evaluation. In recent decades, however, there has been a healthy crossover from Western biomedicine to Chinese traditional medicine. Pharmacologically, the cross-fertilization came earlier.  Aspirin one of the West’s popular pain-relieving compounds, for instance, has its origin in a tree bark.

Biomedicine is increasingly looking toward traditional medicines for possible solutions to some of the intractable chronic illnesses. As life expectancies lengthen, chronic illnesses will increase. As environment-related diseases increase and lifestyle-related illnesses become more prevalent, Chinese traditional medicine, which takes a more holistic view of health and has had thousands of years of empirical successes, should offer different approaches to the treatment of diseases and advice for health preservation and promotion.

At the end of the twentieth century there was an explosion of interest in herbs as food supplements for better health. The trend of self-help for better health fueled this interest. Ginseng is an example of an herb that is widely accepted as an agent to help fight cancer as well as to add vitality to life.

While many Chinese herbal medicines have proven to be effective, however, quality and dosage control remains a serious concern. Pharmaceutical companies have to comply with governmental regulations on the production of drugs, but food supplements are not subject to similar review and control for quality and proper dosage.

The perception that all herbs, because they are natural, have no side effects is erroneous and some herbal substances are toxic. It is important therefore to be educated about herbs before consuming them.

An Easy Introduction to some Basic Medicinal Herbs of Thailand.
Most of these herbs are also used in food preparation so included here are both medicinal and cooking usage.

Black pepper

Black pepper, like many eastern spices, has historically been used as both a seasoning and a medicine. Long pepper, being stronger, was often the preferred medication, but both were used, for such illnesses as constipation, diarrhea, earache, gangrene, heart disease, hernia, hoarseness, in digestion, insect bites, insomnia, joint pain, liver problems, lung disease, oral abscesses, sunburn, tooth decay and toothache.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is an evergreen tree native to Sri Lanka. Cinnamon has been known from the earliest times. In medicine it acts like other volatile oils and once had a reputation as a cure for colds. It has also been used to treat diarrhea and other problems of the digestive system. Cinnamon is high in antioxidants. The essential oil of cinnamon also has antimicrobial properties, which can aid in the preservation of certain foods. It is principally employed in cookery as a condiment and flavoring material.

Cloves

Cloves are used in Ayurveda called Lavang in India, Chinese medicine and western herbalism and dentistry where the essential oil is used as an anodyne (painkiller) for dental emergencies. Cloves are used as a carminative to increase hydrochloric acid in the stomach and to improve peristalsis. Cloves are also said to be a natural antihelmintic. The essential oil is used in aromatherapy when stimulation and warming are needed, especially for digestive problems. Topical application over the stomach or abdomen are said to warm the digestive tract. Cloves can be used in cooking either whole or in a ground form, but as they are extremely strong, they are used sparingly.

Coriander

Coriander seeds have medical value for problems with the teeth and in the mouth. Thai people gargle the boiled Coriander seeds with water in the mouth to help release toothache. Rubbing whole fresh coriander into a rash helps to relieve the associated symptoms.

Tamarind

Tamarind is a great natural laxative, aids digestion and produces a swift result after eating. It is a tropical tree, native to Africa and grows to a very large size. The fruit pulp from mature fruit is edible and popular but the hard green pulp of a young fruit is very sour and acidic and cannot be consumed directly, but is often used as a component of savory dishes. The ripe fruit is edible, as it becomes less sour and somewhat sweeter, but still very acidic. It is used in desserts as a jam, blended into juices or sweetened drinks, or as a snack. In Thailand, there is a cultivated sweet variety with little to no tartness, grown specifically to be eaten as a fresh fruit. It is also sometimes eaten preserved in sugar with chili as a candy.

If you have already visited Thailand you will have noticed the number of gold shops – practically one on every corner! The Thai people use gold as an alternative currency and for investment purposes. The stock market is looking increasingly less attractive so get out while the going is good and buy Thai gold through our service.

The daily rates are set by the Thailand Gold Association and products are standardized. Gold shops in Thailand have been established for many years and the process to buy or resell gold has its’ own secure system. By contrast, there is a lack of cultural acceptance of the gold trade in most Western countries where there is no underlying cultural value for gold  and it certainly doesn’t have the kind of history it has enjoyed in Thailand.

Thailand was previously known as Siam and this means gold in Sanskrit. The Chinese called Thailand Jin lin, which means “peninsula of gold”. China town is situated in one of the oldest areas of Bangkok, Yaowarat. Originally, it was settled  by Chinese traders who came in junks to trade during the Sukhothai era. After 1891, King Rama V opened up this area which is now Songwat Road, Phatsai Road, Anuwong Road and Yaowarat Road.

In Thailand all Thai Baht gold chains, necklaces, rings and bracelets and other Thai Baht gold jewelry items termed ‘ Thai baht Gold’ are known and recognized the world over as 96.5% pure gold by product weight (23K) making it one of highest gold content jewelry products produced anywhere in the world today. Thailand Gold jewelry or Thai Baht gold jewelry is always sold by actual product weight,  in a weight unit known as “Baht”, which is approximately 1/2 ounce or 15.16 grams.

In 2011 gold has hit a high US$1890 an ounce as the US $ loses its’ value as the worlds’ reserve currency and more people realize that gold is one of the last remaining safe havens for their life savings. Gold jewelry and other forms of gold  function as security for many Asian people against the economic effects of difficult times. In Thailand  gold can be pawned at legal pawn or gold shops and purchased back for a premium earned by the pawning business of as low as 1%.

We only purchase gold from the original Tang To Kang – the oldest gold business in Bangkok founded in the 1880′s by a Chinese immigrant called Tohkang Saetang. It was the only gold shop in the Sampheang area during the reign of Rama VI to be granted a royal appointment with the Garuda emblem in 1921. The shop has a high reputation for quality and craftsmanship and will repurchase any piece for not more than 1% lower than the prevailing market price of gold. Some other shops will want a margin of up to 5% on repurchased items.
