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!

What could be more grounding, than listening to tree hugging, nature loving, Dina, sharing her herbal knowledge with her meditative voice?!

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!

Thank you! Great ID. I am trying to learn trees and this was very helpful!

Thank you for sharing your passion with us, and taking the time to educate. Guidance and Blessings to you. Cheers.

Dina, I have GREATLY enjoyed listening to your KZfaq channel and ALL of the wonderful pieces of life-sustaining knowledge that you so willingly offer to the inhabitants of this now dismal and un-grounded world. It is truly a blessing to have individuals such as yourself grace us with your wisdom! This info could help help a life someday. Keep it up!

Oh Dina I love you... your energy is so warming. Thanks for your gifts of wisdom.

Just harvested some from my front yard and searched for this. Thank you so much for your rich wisdom! Excited to get rid of my ringworm that just came back after many years. Our family also lived in mold for years, but thankfully was able to move from there. I know this medicine will be deeply healing for us all. 💗🌿

I have a very old black walnut and a few younger ones in my back yard. I germinate and grow the trees from time to time. They are very strong nuts. I have germinated and grown a 2 year old batch of husked nuts before.

Dina ... i know i have said it few times already ( and oh do i love your book. SO beautiful and useful ! ) But .. your videos are so amazing. You are intense, you give tons of details and show them all on camera also. You are a natural teacher. really. Love love love your presentations. ALL. That said.. do you have students who can go and learn to ID with you ? like for few days - weeks .. (asking for a friend hahahahahaha... you know it's for me ! )

wonder presentation ! you have a magical voice ! i have learned a lot from you !

Thank you for sharing this video. It has been helpful to me. And helpful in reconnecting with my Native American Heritage. Back then at the age of 12 a child would have already known to identify helpful medicinal trees and herbs and food staples in the wild. I'm catching up. Thank you. 🙏 I have just become your newest subscriber.

Very interesting. I will pay closer attention to who has this tree. I'm still not sure I want one in my yard.

Awesome video! As Sherry said already very timely too! Grateful for you!

Thank you. Just found your channel.

Thank you

I enjoyed this video. Thank you! How long do you let the hull infuse in the oil before it is ready?

This is a timely video. Gathered a lot of them last week but they turned black before I could harvest the medicine from it. On a different note, you wear your beautiful hair gathered up on the top of your head. Would you consider doing a video with your hair down? Just curious!

Interesting

Dear Dina, I've enjoyed and learned so much from your course Wild Food Health Boosters & Herbal Remedies. I have this poor Black Walnut that is just hanging on, so I have tried to plant the walnut seeds to no avail. Do you have any tips. Thank you, Julie

Very helpful, thank you

Can u do a video on make the hull solution for fungal infection

Michigan here and so very grateful for all of your useful and friendly videos of very familiar nature. We have black Walnut trees and love to make tinctures from the dried leaves. Wasn't sure how to approach the nut and hull. Thank you fur all of these many uses and ways to preserve both. Do you know if the nut is still edible after the hull is dried?

Just a litter dab of cornstarch on your fingers will make slip right on and you won't have to do the 0J Simpson.

Black walnut hulls have been used traditionally to rid parasites as well. Do you do that?

You must age a black walnut before you eat it for the taste they have to age usually around Christmas is when they're good to eat I grew up on them and they got a wonderful taste when they're aged they don't taste good fresh

What type of tool is she using for hulling these nuts?

Hello what affect does drinking a tea of black walnut leaf tea do? Does it have a laxetive affect?

Why wouldn't use just tincture the entire nut? That's how I was taught. No mess.

I have made the mistake of doing with out gloves my hands were stained for weeks

That tree is older than 30 or 40 years old.

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! 💕

The scent reminds me of IVORY SOAP.

I think the green stain on your gloves is natural iodine from the Walnut

These nuts lol
