I have black walnuts everywhere. I made tincture's last year, but I didn't know how beneficial an oil or ointment could be, or that you can infuse them into an oil for ointment making. Thank you for sharing this information. I'm disabled older and attempt to survive on SSI. That's almost impossible, therefore I can't afford any classes on herbalism and foraging, or any books on the subject. So I really appreciate you herbalist that share these things with us poor people. Bless you. 🙌 I wish I could figure out a way to make a living on all these black walnuts, but it's just too much on my body to do such hard work as it is to clean, cure and shell these. I'm not lazy, just old and crippled. I used to work very hard and I still over do it on good day's even knowing I'm going to pay dearly for it. Lol I pray that more people will wake up and see what's growing around them, learn everything they can about what's eatable, and how it can keep them and their children alive and healthy when everything goes crashing down. It's going to happen. Actually it's already happening. Look at the price of food and how difficult it's getting to find things they used to see everywhere. America isn't the only country experiencing this either. It has been planned and is now unleashed upon the entire world. Just read the Bible if you doubt it. The Bible is the best history book ever written, if you don't like it, it's at least the most amazing history book if nothing else!

Thank you for your comment! If you like, I've written a book called Earthly Bodies & Heavenly Hair that is rather inexpensive and can be purchased for a few dollars (used copies). In it I share how to make herbal infused oils, including black walnut. Perhaps you'd like to check it. Be well!

My husband and I just bought a house and there was a huge tree on the property that I thought was dead and wanted to cut it down in the winter. I saw that it started to grow leaves and it was very pretty and later realized it had some green fruit on it. We did some research and learned its a black walnut tree! We have 3 on our property but only one has the fruit. We are now picking up the black walnuts and are planning to save the nuts! Im glad to learn its very good medicinally to use the hulls as well. Im starting to get a better appreciation for herbal medicine and am excited to learn more! Thank you for your video!

I am amazed at how the squirrels get those hard nuts cracked (they do have all winter to tackle them... 😅 ) Usually we leave big piles of the green/brown walnuts in the hull for the squirrels around bushes and trees ( kinda of a one stop shopping spot for them...) and in the spring there are lots of piles of shelled pieces around tree bases that were shoved out of their nests from their spring cleaning. Fun to watch. 😊 I make tinctures with the green hulls and also use the leaves (not together) both in 100 proof vodka. Great idea to make an infused oil for a salve! 💕
