Medicines made from the husk, leaves and bark are used to treat specific conditions and is not intended to be used as a daily maintenance medication or treatment.

The chemical juglone in black walnut has carcinogenic effects and in sufficient amounts is toxic to humans and animals. Do careful research before consuming any medicines not prescribed by a physician.

One of the most common uses of Black Walnut husks, bark, and leaves is to kill parasites in humans and animals, mainly dogs. It is considered a highly effective remedy.

A tea made from the husks or leaves is a mild laxative and is used to “purge” the system, and as part of the purge the destroyed parasites within the body are expelled. The Black Walnut contains tannins and juglone, which in combination kill pinworms, ringworm, tapeworms, and other intestinal parasites.

The extract from the husk leaves or bark is used to treat fungus of the skin, warts, and other skin conditions. http://prepforshtf.com/survival-uses-for-black-walnuts/#.VaTxWPk71ME

It will cure poison ivy and you can make dye out of it. We have a black walnut tree, and getting the nuts out of the husk and shelling them is a royal pain in the butt, but worth it in the end. When you're done your hands are brown...

My cousins used to take their dad's old pickup, . . . put a jack under the axle on the driver's side, . . . lifting the rear wheel about 1 inch off the ground.

Start up the truck, . . . put her in gear, . . . about 15 mph, . . . feed walnuts in the dark brown, kinda mushy stage into the void between the driveway and the tire, . . . have a board on the other side to catch them, . . . husks em and hulls em really quick and really good.

Oh, . . . and don't do this without your OSHA approved walnut goggles, . . . chest protector, . . . helmet, . . . gloves, . . . and an EMT on call, . . . yeah.

May god bless,
