Black Walnut Hull
Black Walnut Hull is one of my favorite herbs for many reasons.
It’s one of nature’s most powerful antiparasitics.
It will kill microorganisms (bacterium, fungi, yeasts, etc.) to larger
parasites including all worms and flukes.
It is a cellular proliferator (strengthens cells).
It increases the oxygenation of blood cells.
It is a detoxifier used to balance sugar levels and disperse fatty materials.
Black Walnut Hull is excellent for any condition and weakness of the
body.
