Has anyone tried gingko biloba for head pressure,dizziness, or eye problems??? It increases blood flow thought maybe it would help. But scared to try it. If you have tried gingko please tell me your results, I just don't want to make things worse.

Ok I have never taken Biloba but I have major headaches, head pressure, dizziness, vertigo and eye problems from my NeuroLyme.
Last week during one of my worse episodes, I thought I was going to end up in the ER... instead at my friend's urging I tried the Castor Oil pack.
Friday 2 hours Sat 1 hour Sunday 2.5 hours
Followed by epsom salt soak. After the first day symptoms were 80% resolved. Came back 50% the next day though so I had to do it for 2 more days. By the fourth day my head felt light and almost lucid!! I have not felt this good in months. I don't know how it works exactly other than the Castor Oil pack detoxes the liver, kidney and gallbladder. And that in turn cleared my head! I'm so happy with the results I just wanted to share! Thank you!!

i tried gingo. gave me massive headaches.
apparently it enlarges the veins in the brain or something allowing for better circulation.
but anyway i couldn't take it. my husband does with no problem, but not me.

I second that, tried some ginkgo years ago ( before lyme I think ) gave me horrible headaches and actually made me dizzy. I d be reluctant to try it now that I have this regularly.
For what its worth I ve found the last few weeks since I m taking milk thistle most days, my dizziness/brain fog has improved quite a bit. Perhaps its the liver cleansing detoxing effect of it ? Or maybe my ABX treatment is just finally getting the brain stuff.... eitherway it might be worth a shot.
