Key notes:
- Affinity for skin and mucous membranes
- Cleans up focal infections in the body; anti-inflammatory, anti-infectious, antiparasitic, antifungal, antibacterial
- Helps regulate blood sugar levels – pancreatic endocrine
- Improves digestion/spleen Qi function – pancreatic exocrine
Therapeutic actions:
Restores the flora of the colon after antibiotics. This bud is the main remedy for diabetes and acts by normalising enzymes, insulin production and the secretion of pancreatic juice.
Antimicrobial: Antiviral (Hepatitis C), antibiotic (antistreptococcic and antistaphylococcic), antiparasitic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory.
Immune: Plays a role in all hyperimmunity syndromes with cutaneous manifestations. Increases general immunity. Stimulates the production of immunoglobulin.
Cutaneous: Internal action of the remedy manifested on external disorders.
Circulatory: Acts in chronic inflammations and promotes the general defence mechanism of the body. A recent study, conducted on 26,000 people, showed a 50% reduction in the rate of heart attack among people who eat walnuts 5 times a week. Walnuts are the only seeds containing the 3 essential fatty acids that protect the arteries (20 % oleic acid, 60 % linoleic acid, 12 to 14 % linolenic acid).
Pulmonary: Walnut fights against infection of the bronchial mucosa and trachea.
Clinical indications:
Digestive: Restores the flora in post antibiotic diarrhea therapy, colitis, acute & chronic pancreatitis, hemorrhagic pancreatitis, juvenile or adult onset diabetes (early diagnosis), (Walnut will detoxify the receptor sites, normalising insulin production), providing that the patient has not been insulin dependent for a very long time, hypoglycaemia.
Hepatic: Liver afflictions, stimulates Kupffer’s cells (macrophage), alcoholic cirrhosis, hepatitis C. It can help in cases of alcohol withdrawal because it also works at a psychological level.
Cutaneous: Acne, scleroderma, dermatomyositis, collagenosis, lupus erythematous, eczema, trichinosis, ringworm (external topical application), leprosy, which shows that the action of Juglans regia bud lies deep at the inner level for external problems
Circulatory: Varicose ulcers, arteritis.
At circulatory level Juglans regia is effective in varicose ulcers and arteritis. It works in chronic inflammations and augments the natural defences of the body.
Pulmonary: Chronic suppurations of the mucous membranes, bronchitis, sinusitis, allergies.
Immune: Plays a role in all hyperimmune syndromes for which some skin problems are an effect. Also addresses some symptoms at osteoarticular level: evolutive chronic polyarthritis, periarthritis nodosa.

Cornus sanguinea, Ficus carica, GB infections
Acer campestris, hyperglycemia
Vaccinium vitis-idaea, dybiosis
Betula pubescens, Alnus glutinosa, chronic bronchitis
Ribes nigrum, infected eczema

Ribes nigrum, Ulmus campestris, infected acne
Alnus incana, edema
Fagus sylvatica, for sinusitis and bronchitis, stimulates the macrophages
Juniperus communis, Quercus robur, for diabetes
Secale cereale, liver corrhosis
Cedrus libani, infected keratotic eczema or psoriasis
Ficus carica, chronic digestive problems, chronic eczema and psoriasis
