About Walnut (Kurumi)
Walnut (Kurumi) (Juglans regia) is a herb used in the Kampo / Japanese Medicine tradition to help with Brain Fog, Constipation, Kidney Support, and Bone Health. The aerial parts and leaves are the parts traditionally used, taken internally.
Botanical background
Juglans regia, the Persian walnut, English walnut, or especially in Great Britain, common walnut, is an Old World walnut tree species native to the region stretching from the Balkans eastward to the Himalayas and southwest China. The largest forests are in Kyrgyzstan, where trees occur in extensive, nearly pure walnut forests at 1,000–2,000 m (3000 to 7000 ft) altitude—notably at Arslanbob in Jalal-Abad Province. It is widely cultivated across Europe.
