The tree is prized for its extreme longevity and the medicinal potency of its leaves. The primary active constituents are terpenoids and flavonoids, which serve as powerful antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation within the body. Its most celebrated benefit is the ability to enhance blood flow to the brain, which supports cognitive function and may assist in managing symptoms associated with age-related memory loss or dementia. Additionally, it is often used to address circulatory issues such as vertigo and tinnitus by improving microcirculation. In traditional Eastern medicine, it was also utilized to treat respiratory conditions. Today, it is widely recognized for its neuroprotective properties, helping individuals improve their focus, concentration, and overall mental alertness.
