Description

**Tincture of Black Walnut Hull** --Juglans Nigra-- Native to North America, black walnut hulls have been highly regarded throughout the world for their health benefits for ages. The Roman herbologist, Pliny the Elder wrote around 77 A.D. that the black walnut trees had become popular in Rome after making its way there from the Middle East . He also described a unique effect of the tree, which is often referred to as allelopathy , where a substance is produced and secreted by the tree that is toxic to surrounding plants. It is with this allelopathy that the plant derives many of its most popular health benefits. It is said to kill almost 100 different parasites, both in larva and adult stages. There are numerous fungal and parasitic infections that black walnut hulls are commonly thought to help treat. Black walnut hulls are also often highly regarded for their purported antiseptic properties, iodine content, as well as their ability to promote a healthy functioning digestive system. This tincture is formulated with a 1:5 herb to menstruum ratio using wildcrafted Black Walnut Hull grown in the USA. Our tinctures are packaged in amber glass Boston Round bottles with glass droppers attached (8oz and 16oz bottles do not include droppers) and sealed with perforated shrink bands to ensure the purity and quality of the product. Orders are shipped within 1 business day through USPS First Class or USPS First Class International. Active Ingredients The primary active ingredient found in black walnut hulls is called juglone or nucin. Juglone is what gives black walnut hulls their allelopathic properties and is also what is responsible for killing off certain parasites or infections. Juglone is also sometimes used as an herbicide as well as a natural dark brown-orange dye in cosmetics. Juglandin is also found in black walnut hulls and it is used as a black dye in cosmetic products. Black walnut hulls also contain magnesium, manganese, silica, sulfur, copper, and potassium.

Dosages: Take 10-30 drops one to three times per day. How to take it? Our tinctures contain 40% grain alcohol in order to preserve the quality of the solution. Since alcohol can have a rather offensive taste, we have a number of suggestions for how to ingest this: Place the drops directly under the tongue and chase with a small glass of water, juice, or any other fluid that may taste more pleasant Place the drops directly in an ounce or so of water or other fluid and drink that If serving to children under the age of 21, or if you want to avoid the harsh taste of the alcohol, you can either let the tincture sit out or heat it up on very low heat , until the alcohol evaporates (alcohol evaporates faster than water) About our tinctures: Pure Health tinctures are a great alternative to herbal teas, capsules, and pills. They are fast acting and last for years when stored properly. We pride ourselves on selling the highest quality tinctures available. We use only the finest, highest quality herbs from reputable growers all over the world. Pure Health tinctures contain 40% grain alcohol, rather than what has become the industry standard of 30% or less (watch out for companies that list it as 50 proof, that just means it contains 25% alcohol). Alcohol is what ensures that each tincture is completely sterile and free of any bacteria, spores, or microbes. We also use high quality extracts instead of actual plant material to maximize the concentration of the solutions and minimize the amounts of plant material floating in each tincture. To make sure that we are selling the highest quality tinctures on the market, we purchased tinctures from each of the most popular tincture companies and performed thorough analyses on each. Our research showed that our tinctures contain at least 2 times the amount of active ingredients than all of the suppliers we have tested. We make our tinctures with material that is extracted using a far more efficient extraction process than the extraction processes used by other tincture suppliers (typically cold extraction). For example, some claim to use a 1 to 1 ratio of 8 pounds of dried plant material for every 8 pounds (1 gallon) of liquid. Now take a step back and think about this: this dried plant material represents 20% or less of the original weight of the plant and when it is soaked in liquid, it will easily absorb most or all of this liquid. If the manufacturer was able to compress this soaked plant material, only a portion of this liquid would be able to be removed from the plant matter. Even if perfect separation of liquid from plant matter was possible, it would only contain 50% of the valuable constituents of the plant, because in solution there is an equilibrium of active components dispersed between the plant matter and the liquid. Again, this is only in theory, it is actually impossible to extract all of the liquid from the plant matter, so more than 50% of the active constituents would be left unused in the plant matter. Feel free to send us a message if you would like further explanation on this. Other suppliers claim to use large quantities of plant material, but they do not specify whether it is fresh or dry. Fresh plant material contains 80% or more water by weight. We exclusively use dehydrated plant materials to ensure potency, purity, and reliability of strength. We are confident that we provide the highest quality tinctures available. If you are not 100% satisfied with your order, we will either give you a replacement or a full refund.
