Black Walnut Harvest: The Most Underrated (and Valuable!) Nut

Our road trip on this day was a Black Walnut Harvest from a familiar tree on the family farm. In case you aren’t aware of it, the Black Walnut has a huge amount of health benefits. Here they are including a tincture. The Black Walnut is a large, stately, deciduous tree native to eastern North America, known for several valuable characteristics:  • Wood: It produces highly prized, dark chocolate-brown, fine-grained hardwood used extensively for high-quality furniture, veneers, and gunstocks. It is known for its durability and resistance to decay.  • Fruit: It yields a hard-shelled nut, encased in a thick, spherical, yellow-green husk that blackens as it ripens. The inner kernel is edible and rich, though difficult to extract.  • Appearance: Mature trees typically have deeply furrowed, dark gray-black bark that often forms a distinct diamond pattern. The leaves are large, alternate, and pinnately compound, and are aromatic when crushed.  • Allelopathy: The tree produces a chemical called juglone, primarily in its roots and nut hulls, which can inhibit the growth of many other plants in its vicinity. Black walnut tincture is most commonly used in herbal medicine for: • Anti-Parasitic Cleansing: It is a popular natural remedy used to help expel various types of intestinal worms and parasites.  • Antifungal and Antimicrobial Support: It is traditionally used to address fungal and bacterial infections, such as ringworm, athlete's foot, and Candida overgrowth.  • Skin Applications: Due to its astringent properties, it is sometimes applied topically to treat skin issues like warts, eczema, and minor wounds (though the juglone can be a skin irritant).  Important Note: While black walnut has a long history of use in folk and herbal medicine, the FDA has not approved it for treating any specific disease. It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any herbal supplement, especially because black walnut can interact with certain medications and carries a risk of allergic reactions (as it is a tree nut).
