High concentrations (up to 10%) of astringent compounds called tannins account for most of the healing qualities in walnut leaf preparations. Tannins tighten and constrict tissues, making them valuable for protecting areas of skin and controlling inflammation and itching. Dermatological applications associated with walnut include viral warts, eczema, acne, psoriasis, xerosis, tinea pedis and poison ivy as well as excessive sweating of the hands and feet.In France in particular, the leaf is often applied to sunburns and scalp that is peeling and itching from dandruff. The herb is useful for a host of other mild skin disorders as well.
