Black Walnut Hull – Traditional Uses & Herbal Information
Share
Black Walnut Hull has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, valued for its cleansing properties and rich tannin content. Derived from the green outer hull of the black walnut (Juglans nigra), it has been used by herbalists for generations across Europe and North America. Unlike many herbs prized for their flowers or leaves, it is the hull — harvested while still green — that holds the plant's most valued constituents.
