Interestingly, when I went looking for that witch story which I'd found amiss in the resources I'd collected, I first went to Mountain Rose Herbs thinking I'd read it in their folklore info but it wasn't there. While referencing it, though, I noticed that today, their bulk Black Walnut Hull powder is OUT OF STOCK... Notify me! http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/bulkherb/b.html It wasn't out of stock yesterday... Gee, I wonder why... no, really, I don't. I was thinking about getting some, will explain why shortly, here in a bit. |

Black Walnut Juglans nigra Black Walnut is one of the most well-known, valuable and largest native hardwoods in North America, widely distributed in the eastern states and extending northward to Canada. The Black Walnut trees grow over 100 feet tall with trunks measuring 3 feet in diameter. They thrive in mixed forests on moist soil with good drainage, commonly found in valleys. The Black Walnut is covered with a green pulp coating while on the tree, which turns black when it falls on the ground or kept in storage. In Russia the Black Walnut is known by the common name of Greek Nut (Juglan regia), which grows in Kaukaz and Middle Asia. Russian folk medicine came to rely on the Black Walnut for various botanical treatments. In India and Pakistan, the Black Walnut is known as Akhort or Akshot, with similar uses in traditional Indian and Pakistani folk medicine. Black Walnut Hull Extra Strength Tincture vs. Capsules Pure and potent Black Walnut Hull is available in two different forms: Extra Strength Tincture and freeze dried in capsules. The Black Walnut Hulls are harvested in early fall, while the hulls are still green. The Black Walnut Hull Extra Strength Tincture is extracted in ethyl alcohol. Although tinctures are an effective way of taking this herbal supplement, the freeze-dried Black Walnut Hulls in capsule form preserves most of the properties of the Black Walnut Hull, even properties that alcohol nullifies in the process of making a tincture. Recovering alcoholics may also prefer the alcohol-free Black Walnut Hull Capsules. Some people may prefer taking the Black Walnut Hull Capsules to avoid the bitter taste of the liquid tincture. Freeze dried Black Walnut Hull is encased in pharmaceutical grade gelatin capsules, which is derived from pure bovine sources and undergoes extreme pH conditions, ion exchange, and sterilization to effectively eliminate the infectivity of prions. 1 teaspoon of Black Walnut Hull Extra Strength Tincture is equal to 1 capsule of the freeze dried Black Walnut Hull. http://www.blackwalnuthull.com/ |

Uses for Black Walnut Hulls By Melissa LaRose, eHow Contributor Black walnuts are not the easiest nut to crack. Their hulls are tough and are not recommended for composting due to a chemical called juglone that is found in many parts of the black walnut tree. While juglone can be toxic to a few vegetables and plants, it isn't harmful to humans. What can be done with a difficult to crack shell? There are many beneficial uses for black walnut hulls, once they are cracked. Ground Hulls 1. After the nut meat has been removed, the hulls (shells) of black walnuts are typically ground and sold for use in other products. The ground shells, called meal, is mostly used as an abrasive or a grit. This grit is sold as a tumbling abrasive in the jewelry industry and for polishing soft metals, plastics and fiberglass. Because black walnut shell grit does not break down easily it can be reused many times. Commercial Appeal 2. Further commercial applications find black walnut shells being used in the petroleum industry as an ingredient in maintaining seals (preventing oil from escaping). Shells are also used as a filtration product where the walnut shell assists in the separation of crude oil and water. In both instances the ground walnut shell is environmentally safe. Agrashell 3. Referred to as an agrashell product, walnut shells are ground and used as ingredients in filler and adhesive products for plywood. Known as a blasting ingredient, black walnut shell is also used as an extender and a filler in dynamite. Cold casting methods use the shell mixed with resins. The shell is ground in various grades adhering to the needs of each product. Its size is referred to as a sieve size. Body Care Industry 4. Once ground the shell has the ability to aid exfoliation, which makes it a desirable ingredient for the cosmetics industry. The ground black walnut shell is used in facial scrubs, body scrubs, foot scrubs and in soaps. Some dental abrasives also contain ground shells. Grit sizes tend toward a very tiny granule for denture polishing and slightly larger for smoothing the skin. Black Walnut Dyes 5. Historically, black walnut has been used as part of the fabric dyeing process for centuries. Black walnut hulls help to produce the color black to a range of sepia tones due to the tannins it contains. Evidence of black walnut use is found in the remains of Pompeiian dyeworks and through the writings of Pliny The Edler, a naturalist and author from the first century.
