Beneficial for parasites, yeast, and fungus both internally and externally. This product is strong and can only be used for 2 week intervals. Take 10-15 drops 3x a day for two week. Can be repeated after 2 weeks off. Not recommended internally for kids unless under the care of an herbalist or doctor. I recommend the black walnut tincture for younger kids. If you have liver problems I recommended talking to a herbalist or doctor before starting this product.

Can be used externally on athletes foot and other skin fungus.

Made with organic gluten free alcohol, organic black walnut hulls, organic pau d'arco, and organic chaparral.

Black walnut (Juglans Nigra) is native to eastern North America and is favored for its timber but is also widely used for its medicinal properties. The leaves, bark, nuts, and green hulls are what get used, but I personally use the fresh green hulls to make a tincture. I harvest the green fruit typically in early September in upstate NY. I find that a hammer works well to split them open and then I am able to peel the hulls away from the nut (and yes, my hands do get stained black for almost 2-3 weeks after processing them). Once I start to peel the hulls I process them right away. You can let the nuts dry and then break them open for the nutmeat – if you want to eat them. The shells can be quite hard - a hammer or some kind of vice is very useful to open them. Black walnuts were gathered and stored for food for winter by different indigenous groups along with different parts being also used for medicines.

I like to throw the nuts into the woods in hopes that I have a black walnut forest someday! If you want to plant the nuts and try to get them to grow keep in mind that you don’t want it near gardens or anywhere that you have vegetation that you want to grow as anything growing below a black walnut tree will not survive. They release a natural toxin called juglone which can stunt and kill many plants, but the juglone is the constituent prized amongst herbalists.

Black walnut has been used and is probably most widely known for its strong anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, and anti-bacterial properties. It can be used internally for things like fungal infections, intestinal parasites, giardia and candida. It can be used for roundworms, pinworms and tapeworms. It has been used for E. coli, Klebsiella, Blastocystis hominis and Salmonella.  As an astringent it helps with intestinal permeability and clearing intestinal toxins. As a bitter and carminative, it helps to support normal digestion and helps with things like gas, abdominal pain, and bloating. It also helps with liver congestion and stagnation by increasing the production of bile which can help with things like chronic constipation.

Black walnut is also used for herpes, shingles, impetigo, eczema and other skin problems including athlete’s foot, ringworm and cradle cap. Black walnut helps where there is a damp heat in the body with a buildup of waste and where there is stagnation, including what is referred to as bad blood syndrome. When there is damp heat you may notice constipation, low metabolism, chronic joint pain, sluggish digestion and more. This is where black walnut would be a useful remedy. You can blend it with things like lemon balm for conditions like shingles and herpes. It can be used both internally and externally. Black walnut can also be used for hypothyroid because the black hulls contain a small amount of iodine and in traditional folk remedies it was used in the south for goiters per herbalist Phyllis Light. With its bitterness it helps to address constipation, helps with circulation and detoxes the blood while also helping to mildly stimulate the thyroid.

This is a dietary supplement.

I recommend that with all the herbal tinctures you start of small in dosing and work your way up to recommended dosage. Some people only need a small amount to notice a difference.
