Organic black walnut Hull (From Green Hull) One of the strongest and most versatile herbs for removing parasites, the kernel and green hull are the most potent parts of the black walnut to promote parasite cleansing of the intestinal tract. The high tannin content of the green hull is primarily responsible for the walnuts beneficial properties. Other constituents such as juglandin, juglone, and juglandic acid are also involved in the purging process. Some research suggests black walnut can oxygenate the blood, which also helps create a hostile environment to parasites.

The tannins are astringent and dry the mucosal tissue, decreasing secretions and causing the body to form a protective layer over the damaged tissue. Aloe vera: The leaves of this plant yield a gel that is used to treat many skin problems, including cold sores.
Black walnut tree: The leaves of black walnut trees are used medicinally for their astringent, tonifying, antiseptic, hemostatic, and wound-healing properties. These medicinal actions make the walnut leaves a wonderful treatment for healing the skin symptoms of a herpes outbreak. Make a strong decoction by boiling 1 oz of cut or powdered leaves in 2-3 cups of water for 10 minutes. Strain the liquid, soak a cloth in the decoction, and apply it to the affected area for 10-15 minutes.

There are two common kinds of walnuts—the English (most of which ironically come from California) and the black walnut, which is native to America. They differ slightly in their nutritional profile—the English has slightly less protein and slightly more fat. Both are great. The omega-3 fat that's found in walnuts and walnut oil is not the same as the kind of omega-3 found in fish. Much of the research on omega-3 fats that demonstrates such strong cardioprotective benefits involves two omega-3 fats that are found in fish: EPA and DHA.
