Walnut Juglans regia
Improves organ function
The walnut tree has many different uses in traditional medicine from calming inflammation of the eyes to protection against the plague. The Greek physician and botanist Dioscorides mentioned it in his Materia Medica as a cure for poisoned arrows and dog bites.
In modern Arabic medicine – which links directly to Greek and Roman knowledge which was lost and recovered – walnut is used to treat high blood sugar. And it works by increasing the activity of the liver and kidneys.
