Black Walnut Hulls

Black walnut hulls are the outermost, fleshy layer of the black walnut (Juglans nigra). They are widely used in herbal medicine for their rich stores of tannins, antioxidants, and juglone—a compound that provides strong antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-parasitic properties.

Skin Benefits: Fungal & Bacterial Infections: Because of juglone and tannins, extracts are used topically to treat athlete's foot, ringworm, and other localized yeast and skin infections.

Astringent Effects: The tannins in the hull act as an astringent, helping to reduce inflammation, soothe itchy scalps, and dry out acne or skin ulcers. Natural Dye & Coloring: Due to their dark pigment, hulls are frequently used in DIY self-tanning lotions and natural hair dyes.

Medicinal Benefits: Parasite Cleansing: The hulls are famously used in herbal supplements to naturally expel intestinal worms and parasites.

Digestive Health: Thanks to their mild laxative and astringent effects, they have been historically used to support bowel regularity and balance gut microflora.

Antioxidant Support: They are highly concentrated with polyphenols, which help neutralize free radicals and decrease oxidative stress in the body.
