Episode 18 - Black Walnut: A Healer and a Toxin

Join Kayla Dendy, Master Herbalist for an in depth discussion about the benefits and potential toxic characteristics of Black Walnut. In this episode I unpack Juglone, the suspected heartwood toxin linked to equine laminitis, and the mycotoxin Penitrem A from moldy hulls. Learn traditional and modern uses — vermifuge action of green husks, topical antiseptic benefits, nutritional kernel compounds — plus essential cautions for horse owners, dog/cat risks, and safe handling. Always consult your veterinarian or doctor before using herbs. If this helped, please like and share the episode. #EquiHerbal #BlackWalnut #HorseHealth #Laminitis #HerbalMedicine #EquineSafety #horse #horsecare #herbs #alternativemedicine #naturalremedies #health #wellness
