Black walnut and wormwood are used traditionally for cleansing and detoxification.
WHY SHOULD I USE BLACK WALNUT & WORMWOOD EXTRACT?
Parasite elimination:
A 2017 study in the Journal of Helminthology reported that wormwood extract was effective in killing Hymenolepis nana, the most common form of tapeworm affecting humans, both in test tubes and lab mice.
Black walnut is rich in juglone which inhibits certain enzymes needed for metabolic function, researchers have observed that black walnut can expel parasitic worms from the body.
Inflammation:
Artemisinin found in wormwood, may help fight inflammation. Artemisinin is thought to inhibit cytokines, which are proteins secreted by the immune system that promote inflammation.
Black walnut kernels contain a wealth of bioactive metabolites which may represent promising preventive agents for inflammatory diseases.
Anti-bacterial:
Black walnut hulls are high in tannins which have antibacterial effects against, for example, Listeria, Salmonella, and E. coli — bacteria that commonly cause foodborne illnesses.
Wormwood has demonstrated activity against Staphylococcus aureus, a bacteria that is one of the leading causes of skin and soft tissue infections. This includes a potentially serious form called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
