Qualities of Walnut.
Walnuts are well-known here in the West as a delicacy. However, to the Chinese, Walnut kernels are an important tonic herb which has significant strengthening qualities. In particular, it is used to strengthen the Kidney functions, and therefore it is used to strengthen the lumbar region of the back, the legs and the sexual organs. It is commonly combined with other Kidney tonics to enhance this action,in particular, Lycium, Eucommia, Morinda, Polygonum, Psoralea, Cynomorium, Cistanche, etc.
In addition, the brain is believed to be controlled by the Kidney function. So most Kidney tonics are believed to help strengthen the brain to one degree or another. However, Walnuts, which are shaped like a brain, are believed to have a more powerful effect on the brain than many other Kidney tonics. It is especially powerful when combined with Deer Antler (Pantocrin), Lycium, Polygonatum sibericum, Acanthopanax (Siberian Ginseng), Schizandra, Gynostemma, Cordyceps, Ganoderma and/or appropriate Shen tonics.
When combined with Panax Ginseng, Walnut is beneficial to cough due to deficient Lung Qi. Combine with Astragalus, Gynostemma, Ganoderma and Schizandra to strengthen the Lungs.
Walnut helps moisten the intestines and improves their function. This herb may be combined with Hemp seed, Cistanches and Polygonum to tonify the Large Intestine.
Many people appreciate Walnut's benefit to the skin above all else. Regular, moderate consumption improves the complexion and the condition of the skin. It may be combined with Lycium, Longan, Pearl, White Peony and Schizandra.
Walnuts may be blended into formulas just as any Chinese herb may, or they may be eaten raw or roasted. The Chinese use them in cooking much more than we do in the West, both for their flavor and for their health benefits.
