Black Walnut hulls are the coating around the walnut. It is a thick green covering over the nut. In the autumn the nuts fall to the ground and the covering turns black. The nut (fruit) inside is what we are familiar with for eating as snacks or in recipes. American pioneers used the husks to make a yellowish-brown dye for hair and handicrafts. (1) Native Americans used all parts of the walnut tree: the bark, leaves, husks and nuts to treat skin conditions, repel insects, a laxative and for psychological issues. Historically the husks have been used for digestive issues, ulcers, tooth pain, snake bites, syphilis, fever and kidney aliments. (2)
Black Walnut Hulls may be beneficial for:
Powdered Form: Fill Capsules, Compress, Poultice, Add To Beverages or Recipes
Cut Form: Tea, Decoction, Tincture
A tincture is a great way to use Black Walnut Hulls. Add a few drops to tea or directly on your tongue for internal use. For external use just paint a thin layer over the affected area.
