Black Walnut Hull

Juglans nigra | Digestive Comfort · Lymphatic Support · Traditional Cleansing

Black walnut hull has a long history in Native American, European, and traditional Chinese herbal practice — reached for as a bitter, astringent botanical when people wanted to support the body's natural cleansing rhythms.

Its traditional reputation centers on juglone and tannins, naturally occurring compounds studied in preclinical research for antimicrobial and astringent properties.* Herbalists have traditionally used it to support healthy digestion and the body's natural detoxification processes, particularly during seasonal transitions.*
