Herb of the Day: Black Walnut
Posted by TriLight Health on Jan 25th 2020
Black walnut hulls, or Juglans Nigra hulls, are an important part of herbal medicine. This outer hull, often discarded as waste, has also been used as a hair dye and to dye cloth. In fact, natural hair dye using these beautiful hulls is still available today. While herbalists primarily use black walnut hull, the leaves, nuts, wood, bark, and shells are used for many other purposes. Black walnut hulls are most often used as a laxative. However, herbalists have other traditional uses for this deep black hull in herbal medicine.
