Medicinal notes
Juglans cinerea has traditionally been used in many herbal remedies including: as a laxative, as a tonic, as a cholesterol reducer and as an anthelmintic. (More are listed in the medicinal properties section.) Herbal remedies are only prepared from the inner bark. This is a light producer of pollen but should cause problems to only the most sensitive hay fever sufferers. Hay fever season usually extends from April to May.
