Organic Black Walnut Hull Tincture 2 fluid oz

Black Walnut Hull Tincture (Juglans nigra) 2 fluid ounces in an amber glass dropper bottle.

A dark, protective shell of deep medicine, Black Walnut Hull carries the wild strength of the forest—cleansing, guarding, and cutting through what does not belong.

With its inky green husk and unmistakable scent, Black Walnut Hull has long been revered in traditional folk medicine for its potent purifying power. A tree of strength and boundary, Black Walnut stands tall and aloof—its very roots release chemicals to keep invaders at bay. Likewise, its hull offers similar medicine: sharp, clearing, and decisive.

Traditionally used by Indigenous healers and later by Appalachian herbalists, the hull was prized for addressing intestinal parasites, fungal overgrowth, and skin conditions marked by stubborn dampness. It was used externally as a wash and internally as a cleanser—especially for the gut, blood, and skin.

In modern herbal practice, Black Walnut Hull is used to:

• Support elimination of intestinal parasites and candida

• Act as a strong antifungal and antimicrobial remedy

• Cleanse the digestive tract and support gut health

• Aid in treating skin eruptions such as athlete’s foot, ringworm, or eczema

• Promote oral health and gum healing when used as a rinse
