Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Gingko's primary biologic activity appears to be the inhibition of platelet-activating factor, which may cause increased bleeding tendencies. Ginkgo has been shown to alleviate tinnitus and vertigo. Swelling in the extremities is not a potential side effect of ginkgo.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Valerian acts as an anxiolytic as well as a hypnotic. Ma huang is used for weight loss. Ginkgo may be used to treat cognitive decline, such as memory loss. St. John's wort is an herb used to treat depression and anxiety.
