Black Walnut Bark, Leaves, and Hulls

Herbalists have traditionally used the husks (hulls) of Black Walnuts as a nutritional aid for the intestinal tract. Europeans as well as the American Indians used Black Walnut as a laxative.  

It oxygenates the blood which helps to kill parasites. Black Walnut aids in expelling tapeworms and roundworms and has been shown to be very effective in treating Candida Albicans. One study showed that the fresh husk of the Black Walnut destroyed candida better than a commonly prescribed anti-fungal drug. The tincture used contained: One ounce of tincture of Black Walnut husk, plus a few drops each of tinctures of lavender flowers, valerian root, and pau d' arc bark, with 10 drops of tea tree oil.  Others have just used Black Walnut Tincture.  Tinctures made with glycerol (alcohol-free) seem to be as effective as tinctures made with alcohol.

Black Walnut is able to burn up excessive toxins and fatty materials, while helping to balance blood sugar levels. It has been highly thought of as a dependable remedy for "bad blood" diseases such as syphilis and diphtheria.

It is also used for skin ailments such as herpes and eczema. The green husk of Black Walnut produces a brown stain resulting from the high organic iodine content. This makes it antiseptic and useful in healing. Its properties are useful in all sorts of cleansing programs.

Cautions: Black Walnut Hulls may possibly reduce the absorption of most drugs.
