Using Black Walnut, Wormwood and Cloves to Kill Parasites

Black walnut hull is one of the best known natural treatments for worms and other parasites living within the human digestive system.

Potent compounds in green black walnut hulls make them an effective anti-parasitic, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal intestinal cleanser, especially when used alongside wormwood and cloves.

The Parasite Problem

Parasitic organisms like tapeworms, roundworms, pinworms and many others, are a serious, if often neglected and undiagnosed problem. Even in developed countries like the United States, millions of people have some form of parasitic infection.

These harmful organisms can enter our bodies through contaminated water or food (particularly under-cooked pork and raw seafood), mosquito bites, touching pets and other animals, or any infected surface, and then touching your nose or mouth.

Once they find a suitable environment they start to breed and, through various life cycles, can survive in the human intestinal tract for many years.

Common parasitic worms, such as pinworms, hookworms and tapeworms, are found predominantly in the lower intestine. Though other parasite species, like protozoa, have been detected throughout the human body, including the liver, bloodstream and even the brain.

It is often difficult for GPs to diagnose a parasitic infection due to poor testing methods, lack of knowledge and the wide range of symptoms.

These can include, but are not limited to, regular intestinal pain, alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, constant fatigue, increased allergies, and a general decrease in immunity.

How Green Black Walnut Hulls Kill Parasites

Black walnut hull is a powerful vermifuge (a substance that kills parasites). It contains high concentrations of astringent tannins, natural iodine and compounds like juglone that have anthelmintic (worm-killing) properties.

Black walnut hulls are commonly used with two other anthelmintic herbs — wormwood and cloves. This combination is considered especially effective against a wide range of human parasites and intestinal worms.

Anti-Parasitic Black Walnut, Wormwood and Cloves

Dr. Hulda Clark popularized the protocol of using wormwood, green black walnut hulls and cloves together as a worm killing treatment.

While there are many positive reports of using this combination for parasites, there is some question as to the potency of a lot of the products out there.

Despite having the Clark name on many of these preparations, as far as I can find, Dr. Clark herself didn’t personally supervise the formulation of any of them and the strengths can vary greatly.

Dr. Clark was very clear though that predominantly green black walnut hulls were more effective than hulls that were darker in color.

Black Walnut, Wormwood and Clove Combination Formulas

I recently found a good organic wormwood, clove and black walnut combination formula from Peak Performance, a well-known American brand that make all their products in the USA in a cGMP facility with 3rd-party safety testing. Every ingredient is USDA-certified organic and the customer reviews are positive on this product’s effectiveness against parasites and for intestinal detox here on their Amazon store (sponsored).

If it were me taking this blend, I’d double the suggested dosage after testing at a smaller dose for side effects. Like the separate tinctures, these clove wormwood and black walnut drops should be taken on an empty stomach before food.

Parasite Cleanse Capsules

Potent wormwood, clove and black walnut capsules are difficult to find but this highly-rated formula (sponsored), also from Peak Performance, could replace tinctures if someone prefered to take pills. Like their liquid blend, its 3rd-party safety tested, made in America, and has all organic ingredients, including pumpkin seed and artichoke leaf.

Similar to the combination drops above, I’d personally take a higher daily dose after checking for tolerance. A single capsule a day might not be enough. I’d get a good supply and take them 3 times a day before meals if you suspect a parasite problem.

These black walnut, clove and wormwood capsules could also make for a good preventative supplement to take when traveling in less developed areas. Preventing parasitic worms from ever starting their breeding cycle in your body is much easier than getting rid of them once they’ve laid their eggs.
