Black Walnut Powder
Black Walnut Powder
Country of Origin may differ from what is shown above.
Black walnut powder (Juglans nigra) is ground from the hulls of the black walnut, a tree native to North America. Rich in juglone, tannins, and iodine, black walnut hull powder has been used for centuries in traditional herbal practice as part of parasite cleanse protocols and to support digestive health. The powder has a strongly bitter, astringent taste and is typically added to smoothies or encapsulated at home.
Key Benefits
- Traditional parasite support: Black walnut hull is one of the most well-known herbs traditionally used as part of herbal parasite cleanse protocols.
- Rich in juglone: Contains juglone, a naturally occurring naphthoquinone compound that has been the subject of antimicrobial and antifungal research.
- Digestive tonic: Traditionally used as a bitter tonic to support healthy digestive function and intestinal wellbeing.
- High in tannins: Contains both ellagitannins and gallotannins, which contribute to its strongly astringent character and traditional uses.
- Convenient powder form: Easy to add to smoothies, juice, or fill into capsules at home for daily use.
In smoothies: Start with a quarter teaspoon of black walnut powder in a smoothie or juice, increasing gradually to half a teaspoon. The flavour is intensely bitter, so strong-flavoured fruits like banana or berries help mask the taste.
Decoction: Simmer 1 teaspoon of powder in 2 cups of water for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain and drink. Honey can be added to soften the bitterness.
Traditional cleanse blend: Black walnut hull is traditionally combined with Wormwood and clove as part of herbal parasite cleanse protocols. For digestive support, try pairing with Ginger Root to warm and settle the stomach.
Black walnut hulls have been used as a natural dye and ink for centuries. The deep brown-black colour comes from juglone, and the stain is remarkably persistent. Some historians believe Leonardo da Vinci used walnut ink in his drawings. Handle with care as the powder can stain skin and clothing.
Black walnut hull powder is toxic to dogs and horses due to its juglone content. Store securely away from all pets.
