White
Walnut, during the last century, was known as one of the "most
mild and efficacious laxatives" available, and as one of the "best and
safest" laxatives to be found. Today, White Walnut root bark is getting a
well-deserved renewal on interest in its well-documented cathartic properties.
White Walnut is good not only as a laxative, but also as a treatment for liver
disorders and intestinal sickness, as practiced extensively in homeopathy.
White Walnut, also called Butternut Bark of Root, is used to expel, rather than kill, worms (vermifuge) during the normal course of laxative-induced cleansing of the body. When combined with anthelmintics, White Walnut provides the means to eliminate a parasitic mass from the body.
These properties of the herb were well known in America in the early 1800's and probably even earlier.
