Many people want to know why Metasequoia is a living fossil. In fact, Metasequoia glyptostroboides is called a living fossil because its history can be traced back to at least 345 million years ago, when it was Carboniferous. And with the change of time, its species has not been completely extinct, and it still exists stubbornly. And it has not evolved the ability to adapt to environmental changes like other species.
Ginkgo Metasequoia is like a recorder that changes from time to time. It provides extremely important information for current scientific research, and is of great significance for human beings to study the changes of the earth's climate, geography, plants, geology and so on over hundreds of millions of years.
It is precisely because of the changes of hundreds of millions of years that the existing Metasequoia glyptostroboides is extremely rare, which is caused by both natural and human factors. As early as 345 million years ago, the footprints of Metasequoia glyptostroboides have appeared on the earth. And it is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere of the earth.
However, with the extreme environment and climate such as crustal movement and glaciers. Until about 70 years ago, Metasequoia glyptostroboides was largely extinct because of the harsh environment. Chinese botanists have discovered several Metasequoia Ginkgo trees intermittently in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and other places in China, all of which are over hundreds of years old.
Ginkgo biloba leaves have the effects of treating heartache, chest tightness, poor breathing and promoting blood circulation. It has a good therapeutic effect on patients with cholesterol, hypertension and long-term cough and asthma. Its roots can also be used to strengthen the body, nourish yin and strengthen yang. The essence in Metasequoia glyptostroboides leaves can promote blood circulation and prevent symptoms such as cerebral thrombosis and stroke.
It can also prevent Alzheimer's disease. It helps to improve our memory. When people get old, their heart and brain activities will gradually decrease, and finally their minds will completely degenerate, leading to the formation of Alzheimer's disease. Metasequoia Ginkgo can promote the activation of various brain functions.
Conclusion: Through the above article, I believe everyone has understood why Metasequoia Ginkgo is called a living fossil and its efficacy. I hope these contents will help everyone's life.
