Juglans cinerea
A North American walnut used by Native Americans as a laxative, skin tonic, and anthelmintic.
Juglans cinerea (butternut) is a North American walnut traditionally used by Native Americans as a laxative, skin tonic, and anthelmintic. Modern research suggests mild laxative and potential antiparasitic effects, attributed to active compounds such as juglone, tannins, and flavonoids. Clinical evidence remains limited (Level C), but it continues to be used for constipation and parasitic infections.
The laxative effect is primarily due to juglone and tannins, which stimulate peristalsis by irritating the intestinal mucosa and increasing fluid secretion. Juglone also exhibits antimicrobial and antiparasitic activity by inhibiting mitochondrial electron transport and interfering with DNA synthesis in pathogens. Flavonoids contribute antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, supporting topical skin applications.
