Thyroid
Problems
I was diagnosed with hashimotos disease, which essentially
is a thyroid problem in which your body’s immune system views your thyroid as
an enemy and attacks it. I went on levothyroxine
for 2 years but never felt better. I also did not want to be on medication, as
I believe that God gave us everything for healing from the earth. I began
researching and found that black walnut produces iodine from the green walnut
hulls. I began to make my own tinctures and was able to come off of the
medication. I of course did not just simply add a tincture and was better it
actually was a very intense journey of massage, sitz baths, fasting and continuous
prayer. My journey is not over with my thyroid, as I will need to pay special
attention to that part of my body for the rest of my life if I want to avoid
medication. I will write about the other
techniques I used later but for now just want to concentrate on the walnut
tree. I actually got the formula from another herbalist and found that my
sister had 3 beautiful black walnut trees in her yard. I love the black walnut tree and it is a very
intelligent tree.
The parts of the black walnut that are used medicinally
are the bark of the tree, the husk, the shell and the nut or the kernel. Black
walnut is considered to be an antiseptic, a germicide, a parasitic, and a
laxative. Black walnut hull helps with many health conditions from ridding the
body of intestinal parasites and tapeworms to reducing constipation and healing
skin conditions. Black walnut hull can be ground into a powder (just be sure
you use it when it is fresh and green when it has become black it can be very
dangerous. It has been used as external applications for a variety of skin
complaints including ringworm, jock itch, athlete's foot, psoriasis, blisters, and
eczema. The most common medicinal use of
black walnut is to kill parasites. Black Walnut oxygenates the blood to kill
parasites. It is used to help balance sugar levels. It also is able to burn up
excessive toxins and fatty materials.
The black walnut hull contains a number
of active ingredients, including omega-3 fatty acids, sterols, tannins and my
favorite iodine!!
For the recipe on the black walnut tincture see Dr. Hulda
Clarks book “The Cure for all Diseases” just be sure to omit the vitamin powder
and add raw apple cider vinegar.
