Ginkgo Nuts Cure Asthma

The Ginkgo Village is located 6.22 miles/10.0 kilometers west of Tancheng County, Shandong Province. Lines of folk residences settle in harmony with lush Ginkgo trees. 

Originally here it was called Beilougou Village. During Jiajing years of the Ming Dynasty (about 200 years ago), Jinghua Zhang, who was born and raised here, was entitled a high-rank supervisor in the capital. One year, his mother had asthma, she saw all the famous doctors, but did not see signs of recovery. Jinghua had to send her home finally. 

Zhang's family had a maid called Ginkgo, who was clever and industrious. One day, maid Ginkgo's mother came to see her, by the way she fetched some freshly harvested Ginkgo nuts from home. 

Maid Ginkgo cooked some nuts for the old lady to eat. They tasted creamy and delicious. To everyone’s surprise, her asthma faded a little and she was cured gradually. 

The old lady wrote Jinghua a letter, in which she conveyed her recovery. Jinghua was very happy and told her to reward maid Ginkgo. Later, Jinghua retired home. He bought a plot of land for maid Ginkgo, also helped her to marry her husband. People here began to grow Ginkgo trees. Generation after generation have planted more Ginkgos. Later,they simply changed their village name to Ginkgo Village, which has been used till nowadays.

In 2800 B.C, (4,815 years ago) the pharmacopoeia Shen Nong Ben Cao (Magic Peasant Herb Medica) narrated ginkgo nuts as a medicine. It’s good for the lung and relief of asthma and cough. There are a lot more folk remedies using Ginkgo nuts, in a chapter of the book Ginkgo: The Living Fossil. The book has been edited from decades’ work by a native Chinese photographer Jimmy Shen, who lives in the wild Ginkgo forests, plus stories supervised by top Ginkgo scholars from paleobotanists to university professors.
