In the United States Native Americans traditionally valued kernels of black walnut as a food source and utilized leaves for medical purposes to treat diarrhea, bilious, and cramp colic.

According to researchers walnut leaves (as do the nuts) have bacteria-killing and anti-parasitic properties. Tea can be made from the leaves and is said to be excellent for digestion. It may have a laxative effect.

A recent comprehensive review of research into walnut leaves found them to exhibit Anti-oxidant activity, lipid-lowering effects, anti-hypertensive effect, anti-microbial effects and gastro-protective activity.

Research suggests black walnut leaves may exert an anti-diabetic effect, anti-cancer effect, hepato-protective activity and have anti-ageing effects.
