‘Ginkgo is generally well tolerated, with no nasty side effects,’ says Etheridge. ‘However, care should be taken when pregnant or taking ginkgo in combination with anticoagulant drugs, such as warfarin and aspirin. Always chat to your GP before getting started.

‘This wholesome herb can be taken as a capsule or liquid tincture. As some of the active chemicals are not very soluble in water alone, ginkgo is not ideal as a tea unfortunately.’
