Are there any side affects when taking Ginkgo tea?

Stomach problems, acne, things like that.

Are there any side affects when taking Ginkgo tea?
In moderation, no. If someone is trying to get results by drinking a lot of it everyday, then possibly.
Reply:Ginkgo is thought to have anticoagulant/blood thinning properties. It is thought that by this mechanism it aids in the body%26#039;s circulation, including that to the brain, thus giving it its positive effects on memory. You should tell your Dr. if you are taking Ginkgo so that it doesn%26#039;t interact with other meds.
Reply:Hi Kevin M, the extract of the maidenhair tree (ginkgo biloba) is used by millions of people across the world.





If you decide to try Ginkgo Biloba, your practitioner may recommend that you take it for at least four weeks for the effects to become apparent, but it is best to take it long term.





Side effects of Ginkgo Biloba are rare but real: headache, dizziness, skin rash and menstrual period abnormalities.





When choosing a Ginkgo Biloba, aim for one which contains at least 120mg of standardized extract (not raw leaf), with 24% flavone glycosides, 6% ginkgolides and bilobalide. There are different strengths available on the market. The prices vary enormously and the cheapest brand isn%26#039;t necessarily the best, because it may not provide enough Ginkgo Biloba for any worthwhile effects. Choose wisely !

Reply:There are side affects when taking any medicinal cure, especially for those who over indulge. However, some are very mild. Remember pure water can kill you if you over consume.
Reply:If you drink in moderation, there should not be any. But if you do get side effects, they will include headaches, stomach pains, allergic reactions, etc. These side effects happen only very rarely.





You can of course, start slowly with a cup and then work your way up if you would really love to have more. Then, if you notice that you do have side effects, stop.





Of course, there are several types of herbal teas. Why restrict yourself to one? Then again, consume a variety of liquids from just water to fresh juices. You can skip the coffee, though!
