Other health benefits of walnut shells
Support for digestion and treatment of stomach ulcers: Walnut shell tea is also a great helper for stomach ulcers. A strong decoction, which you take on an empty stomach by the spoonful, can help relieve symptoms and support healing.

Walnut leaves also help with anesthesia, contraction of epithelial tissue, lowering blood sugar, fighting bacteria and fungi, and even treating tuberculosis. They may also help with frostbite, conjunctivitis, and certain skin conditions.
