I’ve never heard that ginkgo can treat asthma. What I’ve heard is that it prevents Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia and age-related cognitive decline. It is sometimes called “smart drug”. I don’t think it has anything to do with asthma, though. But of course, I could be wrong.

It has no known effect on asthma.
Don’t waste your time.

According to studies reported at a doctors’ conference in Florence, Italy, in 1986, ginkgo reduces the susceptibility of children to various allergic substances and thus greatly decreases the frequency of asthma attacks.*
I have a recipe for a Ginkgo Throat Spray for asthma. It is used like an inhaler. I gave the recipe to one of my customers and she said it worked as well as her prescription.
1 teaspoon tincture of ginkgo leaves
5 drops chamomile essential oil (optional but helpful)
1/4 cup water
Combine ingredients and store in a sprayer bottle. Shake well before each use. Use as needed to keep airways clear.
