Originally from Persia, the Walnut is known for being very demanding, and above all solitary. In fact, it prevents the growth of other plants nearby because of its leaves which contain juglone. Bud macerate is a great regenerator of the digestive system! It restores the intestinal flora, and has a great action on the pancreas and the spleen in particular. Walnut bud macerate will be very suitable for situations of diarrhea, acne and diabetes. Latin name: Juglans regia. Part used: Fresh buds

Synergistic uses

    Acne

    Walnut is interesting for acting on the source of acne. It can be supplemented by the action of macerates of buds ofElm in order to drain the skin, and Cassis to tone the emunctories and purify the skin.

    Eczema

    Walnut can be used in combination with bud macerate of Cassis, anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine, and bud macerateElm to drain and purify the skin. The latter is rather specific to oozing eczema.

    Dry eczema

    Walnut once again combines with macerate of buds of Cassis for its anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine properties, and this time with macerate of buds of Cedar to drain the skin, in the case of dry eczema.

    Psoriasis

    Walnut can be associated with Cassis for its anti-inflammatory action, as well as Cedar for its properties as a drainer, skin revitalizer but also for its action on autoimmune processes.

    Urticaria

    The trio of Walnut bud macerates, Cassis and Elm can be used in the case of hives. All three allow the skin to drain, in addition to providing specific properties.

    Skin allergy

    THE Cassis is essential in skin allergies. It can be used with theOrm to detoxify the skin, and Walnut which, thanks to its action on the intestinal flora, allows it to act upstream, on the immune reaction.

    Rosacea

    Walnut is interesting for its purifying action of the liver and blood. It is associated with macerates of circulatory buds, more specific to rosacea: Ginkgo biloba and the Chestnut tree.

    Diabetes

    Walnut can be used in combination with Blueberry in case of diabetes, with hypoglycemic action, but also protective of small blood vessels.

    Diarrhea

    Walnut is particularly interesting in diarrhea following antibiotics, in order to rebalance the intestinal flora. It can be associated with theAirelle, with similar effects.

    Immunity

    To stimulate immunity, Walnut can be used with bud macerate of Cassis. They are both very complementary since they act at different levels: on the intestinal microbiota and on the adrenals.

    Hemorrhoids

    Walnut acts on hemorrhoids linked to digestive disorders. It can be combined with blood thinning, decongestant and anti-inflammatory bud macerates such as Chestnut tree, THE Mountain ash or theGlutinous Alder last resort.

Main properties

  • intestinal rebalancing :

    walnut bud macerate helps restore the intestinal flora. This property explains the vast majority of its benefits. Indeed, intestinal disruption can be the source of many inconveniences. The intestinal microbiota plays a role in digestive functions of course, but also metabolic, immune and even neurological functions. By promoting the development of good bacteria, Walnut bud macerate therefore has a positive effect on diseases of autoimmune or inflammatory origin.

  • depurative :

    in addition to its action on the intestines, Walnut acts on other organs such as the liver, which it will drain. An overloaded liver can cause blood to be overloaded with toxins and cause circulation problems. Walnut bud macerate will therefore not directly improve blood circulation, but will improve its quality. Its cleansing action on the blood and liver will also affect the skin, the last elimination system, sometimes reflecting the weakened state of other organs. Thus, for its action on the intestine and the liver, Walnut is interesting to use as a basic treatment, or once a year.

  • antiviral, immunostimulant, antibacterial :

    through its action on the intestinal microbiota, Walnut helps improve immune defenses. Its activity is sometimes described as eubiotic but it acts against certain pathogens, notably bacteria and yeasts, in addition to energizing the body and making it more resistant. It is therefore particularly interesting in the event of winter infection.

  • anti-inflammatory :

    walnut exerts an anti-inflammatory action at several levels: chronic, joint, cardiovascular, respiratory, gynecological and dermatological. It is, among other things, its action on the intestinal microbiota which gives it this property. Indeed, intestinal disruption can be the cause of the production of pro-inflammatory substances. Walnut is therefore not anti-inflammatory strictly speaking but helps limit the problems that arise from it. It is therefore particularly interesting in autoimmune pathologies and certain chronic inflammations.

  • hypoglycemic :

    Walnut bud macerate will regenerate and regulate the action of the pancreas. It thus normalizes enzymes and insulin secretion. It helps to act on hyperglycemia, and can be indicated in different types of diabetes.
