When I was a girl, about 1948, two of our neighbors girls got ringworm in their hair. The rich family took their girl to the doctor. He shaved her head, and doctored the ringworm. She wore a crocheted beanie for almost a year. The poor family took a green black walnut off the tree, mooshed one side on the sidewalk and rubbed it on her scalp, with her hair still there. (She was a little blonde, and I don't even remember it staining her hair.) I remember her having a ringworm or two on her upper arm, and maybe her torso. It was treated the same way. Rich girl, bald for near a year. Poor girl, perfectly fine in a week or two. That was when I learned to appreciate 'traditional medicines' and figured out doctors don't know everything.
So in this case antifungal is the key goledseal , yarrow, garlic or sliver.. There are many good ringworm cures it's just a fungus same as jock itch or athletes foot. Good video ❤
@@wolfmangosan539 I was just a little girl, and was looking forward to Sue (the poor girl - but she was tough and mean, and beat me up regularly) getting her head shaved. When her mother cured her with a common ol' walnut, and the ringworm went away faster than the Peterson girl's (I liked her), I was pretty disappointed. (Sue grew up to be lovely, and the Peterson girl moved away by 3rd grade.)
Don't forget inside the hard shell is some awesome black walnuts nuts to. I grow up picking up walnuts and selling them in 50 pounds bags. But we also shelled away the soft green and black and dropped one into 5 gallon of water. After 3 to 5 days you notice the water turn brown and we used it to remove parasites from out animals on the working farm just put the water in the chicken/duck watering pot, feed one whole walnuts or just the soft shell to pigs, water for your dogs, cats, cattle, mules and horses and any animal on you farm. We removed ringworms, fungus it does stain but it will wear off. Because on the farm we had a gravel driveway to the barns. Instead of having to use a hammer to break away the outer shell we pour them in the gravel driveway. The truck and vehicles knott the our shell off, we gathered them up and placed them in a bucket or box inside the hay room in the barn. We would use then as needed till next walnuts harvest. It free food and absolutely taste great in homemade old fashioned chocolate candy, the one that Martha's Washington mded it has to be mixed and cooked on the stove for a pretty good time. But, it is better then any chocolate candy i have found. Breads, icing and has a better taste then English walnuts. As children we would set around the fireplace or heating stove during cold winter. Grandmother would keep a card of bobby pens and each child would receive one. And if you had never picked out walnuts you'd be shown how. The deal was 1 bite of the nut for every six walnuts were picked out. Because believe me that first taste of wild grow black walnuts is out of this world delicious. We also gathered wild hickory nuts and did them the same way. But, hickory nuts have a four piece hard shell around the nut. Those were picked up to help start wood fires. And yes you could smell just a hint of hickory in the air when used to start fires. The nuts were creaked by the oldest child and the picking of the nuts began. It was a wonderful time for us as children in many ways. We were helping gather and pick out the nuts, spending time with your family and knowing some delicious breads, cakes with icing and everyone favorite the chocolate candy with chopped nuts. I have taught my children and grandchildren and it's enjoyed every winter just like when I was a child. So gather up the free foods, use the hulls for fungus and dewormer for your animals and free and taste the delicious food made with you free nuts
My Mom lived to 87 and her Mom to 93. Grandma had a black walnut tree in her yard and we all got the benefit of that bounty! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Wow ! So much knowledge and know how in your story. Wish I had transmission of all that in my family. So many of us miss those treasures. Continue to pass on, that is more precious than gold. Thank you.
I always thought that the optimal time to pick the nuts was when the inside of the nut was still in its milky, soft state. I have made Nocino this way using walnuts and its just amazing. Thanks, for your well presented video.
I grew up in NJ and we picked up the nuts as kids for my mom and grandma. We would use the outter hul to make stain for furniture. We always had walnuts in a bowl at home for snaks and other things. Our hands would be stained most of the summer. How fun. Good for you. Like your video😊.
I believe your tree is an English/Persian or carpathian walnut. The very dark green shiny leathery leaflets with round leaf tips are a dead giveaway. Any other variety of blackwalnut,butternut,heartnut, manchurian etc. Have pointed dull green leaflets. That is a very magnificent tree you have there!
Thank you so much for the helpful tip. I'm a Mojave Desert and Idaho mountain west forager, so this tree was a surprise and unknown to me. The property owner told me it was black walnut, and I did try to find identification differences....but I couldn't! Luckily, the medicinal value is somewhat similar, so the herbal making isn't a complete waste. :-) Thank you so much again!
10: 42. Overall that's a lot of cutting. I would try to find a plyers or make a pair that holds the walnut while it's being peeled, and/or wear a knife-proof glove. Thank you for the walnut herbal information.
I used the back of my muck boots to step on hundred of these and gather the walnuts! Squish it one direction then lift up and squish it the opposite direction and the nuts come right out of the green hull. Clean and easy process. Gathered some more hanging on the tree for these 2 extractions. Thanks for sharing the info!
just got some black walnuts you confirmed the process. I use coconut oil at 150 no higher than 180F and soak it for 48 hours in my chocolate melter crock pot. Filter it and let it cool. for a tincture just warm it in your hand. just a way I have developed.
I bet that tomato was delicious! We had 2 tomato plants in our back yard and they put out 113 tomatoes between the two of them in one season! 113! I counted only the ones that were good enough to eat! I'm in North Kakalaki and we know how to do stuff like that real good here.
The shells of the nut used in sandblasting. I use the meat when dark rinsed through cement mixer strained pour in mason jar I use the juice hair color. Like honey add sone coconut oil it’s great
Black walnuts are round like little tennis balls and very soft (easy) to cut into. The nuts you are using (challenging to husk) and more almond-shaped - I believe, may be English walnuts. Thank you for the instructions, and for all the great info. I have processed our black walnuts both ways, as you taught, but wasn’t sure what to do with it or how to use it. God Bless you Heidi and thank you. 🙏🏼💌
One more comment. Something I learned this year and I have been doing this for a while. DO NOT CUT OPEN THE GREEN HUSK WITH A KNIFE. Instead, take a mallet or hammer and smash it on a flat surface. I have a gravel drive, but I have paver stones I used this year to do this. I can now husk 4 or 5 times as many in the same amount of time as it used to take me struggling with a knife. Additionally, your hand, even with gloves, will get sore and bruise or swell if you do enough of them and that can be 10 to 15 freshly fallen ones, or 20 to 25 black walnuts that you have allowed to set out a while. USE A MALLOT! It is also MUCH safer. Wear protective glasses also! God bless all here.
@@martylanning8133 Olive oil for black walnut husk oil, but vodka *usually) is what is used for tinctures. You don't consume more than about 3 to 10 drops at a time so the alcohol is not a problem. I make both the oils and tinctures.
My neighbor had a black walnut tree, i pick up bunch off ground blackish n maggies, yuk i didnt know about hull, i clean them with a tooth brush took forever n dried em out over several weeks packed em up n winter came i ended up leaving some out daily for the squirrel s. She had the tree cut down so no more issues of em bunking in her building.
My dad, born in 1931, was always on the hunt for black walnuts. He cracked them on a large anvil in our backyard. When I married my father-in-law, born in 1929, made the neatest gifts from black walnut shells and he always has a jar of the meat ready for me when I visited.
I am glad I found you today! It appears we are very like-minded. I used to have a website for our organic farm where we raised soy-free chickens for meat and eggs. We also raised sheep, steer, and dairy animals. We sold the farm so I no longer have the website. We even did wild edible workshops on the farm! I LOVE the fact that God has given us all we need to stay healthy! Today I harvested lots of walnuts! I will try the oil infusion. I have never made one. I agree with your mission of having a herbalist in every household. Thank you for the great video.
I live in SW Missouri and Black Walnuts are almost invasive here. True on the variety. Black Walnuts are a little rounder. I will definitely be trying this come fall. We usually gather them and sell them to "dealers" in the fall. I can't wait to try this. How long do you keep the jar with the oil in the water?
THATS what those green balls are that fall in my backyard all summer?? I was told by my neighbor that they were unripe walnuts, that something was wrong w the tree! Lol what the world...
Crazy! I inherited a tree @ 35 years ago. I don't the taste of black walnuts. They are hard to open, so I have trashed every harvest. I recently learned pigs like them and recently had learned of their medicinal value. This is the first walk through I have seen; thank you. This was an off year (not one nut), but I will be ready next year!
I'm from Kansas, living in Missouri and black walnuts are delicious In oatmeal cookies, biscotti, Swedish rusks, banana bread and in frosting. My grandma always made me a delicious chocolate with a creamy white frosting with black walnuts in it. The combination is absolutely delicious!
The tincture won't be as rough on the dermis as the hulls in direct contact....BUT everyone reacts differently, so there may be sensitivities for some people. Even OTC meds can cause reactions. The best thing to do is stop using immediately if any sensitivity occurs. Another thing is to do a patch test for those who have very sensitive skin.
Okay so when you say make a tea ☕️, you mean that you can actually drink it like a tea? I am new to using black walnuts for tinctures. I have made inks with them mostly or eaten the nut meats. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information with us.
No, I wouldn't drink it unless you check in with an herbalist who knows and understands your intentions and can help with suggestions---it can be toxic in large amounts. But as a skin wash for topical fungal infections it can be used this way---It may stain, but it's better than the infection!
The old black walnut tree. I come from a long line of old German cabinet makers. Black walnuts were a staple in our house. You could eat all you wanted. I still like the taste of them better than those bland English walnuts. We had five big walnut tree ringing our yard. The walnut tree is the last to get it's leaves in the spring, and the first to loose them in the fall. In the fall in our yard it was wise to wear a hard hat just to walk to the garage. And then there were the squirrels. Over the thirty years we lived there the squirrels became very friendly. We could hand feed them and even pet them as time went by. Black walnut,, plant them if you can, if you don't have much luck that way try my way. Go find a supply of walnuts. Place them in the yard. Find a friendly squirrel who will work cheap and have him plant them.
I have MANY black walnut trees and I was very interested in your process, however, you did not show or tell (that I noticed) what part of the fruit you put into the jar. LOL
My parents ordered & planted an English (Carpathian) Walnut tree from a catalog when I was a kid, & planted it (I actually found a catalog pg in their basement, yrs ago!). I too, was thinking this tree looked like their tree (they still live there, w/ their almost 40 yr old walnut tree). The leaflets are pretty much always rounded, mostly entire (smooth, not super toothed/serrated), & odd-pinnate (fernlike & like you showed, w/ a leaflet on the end), & scented. The bark starts off grey & smoorh, but develops furrows later, giving it a rougher, slightly darker look as the tree ages. Black walnuts are generally supposed to be even-pinnate (ending in a pair of leaflets, although apparently some will have a single leaflet, that's quite small), serrated, more narrow lanceolate w/ pointier tips leaflets. The bark is (I believe) always a (darker) brown, though I do not know if they start off smooth & become furrowed/rougher w/ age. There are other species in the walnut family, but I have very little experience w/ them, other than helping my friends remove a messy Tree of Heaven. Walnut family members all produce juglones, the allelopathic substance that is particularly adverse to the tomato/potato (Solanaceae family). I did take Botany in college, so hopefully I'm remembering the terminology OK, but even then we didn't discuss this family in those classes, as they aren't common where I live (UT). When harvesting for nuts, that mostly green, but w/ some brown to start peeling from is the easiest & cleanest way to remive the husk. The entire fruiting body is called a drupe.
Thank you SO much for this. I have searched and searched for information on the differences between the two walnuts, and there is nothing useful. Luckily, the chemical constituents of the two trees are very similar, with black walnut having more of the juglone content, which makes it so powerful as an antioxidant and antifungal. But, I'm very pleased with the blackness of my tincture, and have gotten some good results already. The property owner told me it was a black walnut tree. I searched and searched and couldn't find info. Medicinally, they're similar, with black walnut being slightly more powerful. I've thought about removing this video, but it's doing quite well....So I just keep explaining myself over and over again, LOL. I wish I had seen your explanation of the leave identification when I was doing my research! You should start a plant identification site!!!
We have lots of black walnut trees on our farm and am curious if you know how or why the iodine resin under the hull would burn the skin ? My children and I were out foraging walnuts and began to hull them out and my hands got extreme boil /burns much worse than poison ivy which has never happened previously. Thank you for the wounderfull video and beautiful landscape. Jeff.
Well, you sure had a reaction to something! I've never heard of burns like this, but some people are very sensitive to different chemical compounds. It's not outside the realm of possibility.
I was concerned for you when you began this video in Oregan, where your mom's black walnut tree is. Glad and grateful that you seemed much happier by the end. I'm compassionate that way. I spent hours today trying to separate black walnut husks from walnuts that fell off the tree today. Tough job and I have bruises on my hand to prove it. A utility knife might have made it easier, but either way, be very careful, they can be very, very tough and the knife can & likely will slip. I know they soften up a bit after a week, but my intuition tells me the fresher, the better, but it's only intuition & may not be correct. Thank you for the tip on heating my fresh oil in water in my slow cooker with the lids off. I've got a quart done for the tincture now (or will be in around 6 weeks) and the oil simply needs to be heat treated. God bless all here, especially the host of this video. I love pleasant hosts with no loud or obnoxious music and straight to the point tips. You accomplish that and more, so I subscribed. Thanks.
Thank you for expressing your feelings and unknown knowings, I duly feel confused about the tannins and other medicinal properties fresh versus wormy-black. Will research for myself
You can identify a black walnut by taking the enormous amount of shells, the squirrels deposited in your attic, and compare them to the shells underneath the black walnut tree lol
They look more like Butter nuts [Juglans cinerea] looks like lemons vs round balls. But I could be wrong.but if correct you might have one of very few trees left alive.@@HeidiVillegas
This is amazing information, I am so glad that I came across your channel this morning. My neighbor next door has 12 Black Walnut trees in their yard and I am going to have to ask them if I can harvest some of their nuts. When the previous owners still had the property, I had permission to take anything I wanted from their Apple, Pear, and Walnut trees, but the new owners moved in this past spring and I have yet to ask for their permission. Also, I am still trying to find any information about the Shagbark Hickory tree and the Hickory nuts, which look identical to the Black Walnut except they don't turn black. I have an 85-year-old tree growing directly outside my back door, and it is just starting to drop nuts now (those that the squirrels are throwing at us that is). I started teaching myself about Holistic medicine starting about a year ago and I am definitely going to look into your channel a bit more and glean any information you are teaching. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us. May God always Bless you with good health, safety, and prosperity in all you do. God Bless ~SuzyJC-in-Central-Southeastern-Ohio_10.02.2023~
Hmmm. Hulda Clark method in her book The Cure for All Diseases has only 3 days extraction in the 100 proof alcohol..or I use brandy for a super high extraction for the medicinal parasite killing properties. Three days and no longer because beyond that you are getting iodine. You want the tincture to be green. I have done this for 20 years with great success. Also, no peeling the hull, just wash the whole nut with cold water, place approximately 15 green hulls in a crock, preferably with a spigot and cover with alcohol. Cover crock, Open spigot on the third day and filter thru a cloth. Keep in dark brown bottles and use for parasite killing with wormwood and cloves.
I've addressed this in so many of the comments. Thank you so much for writing in! Luckily, medicinally, (which is my use) the English are great too! The property owner told me it was black walnut, and I'm a forager from the Mojave Desert and N. Idaho areas....no black walnuts where I'm at! I believed the property owner....a big mistake.
I remember you saying that when infusing oils that we want them to be dried. Is it possible to to lay the green hull out in Texas sun for an afternoon or so then infuse? I also hear that freezing breaks cells walls so that would help to extract….
Thank you, Heidi! Wish I could have been there in that beautiful locale with you. I made a Black Walnut salve with Calendula, plantain and lavender and it’s amazing. A gorgeous earthy colour and scent. Doesn’t stain the skin. 👍🏼💌Black walnut is a powerful medicine, amazing functions/uses. A beautiful gift. God provides for our needs, that’s for certain. Now ...if We could somehow bottle that initial scent of the outer shell of a fresh-picked ripe walnut - that lime, citrusy, pine like scent would make a great men’s cologne. But the scent becomes more iodin-ish once the shell is cracked open and exposed to air, as it oxidizes quickly. That fresh outer peel scent is so uplifting!!
Hello Heidi! I recently found your page and I’m so glad I did! I have access to black walnuts this year and want to try your method for making the oil. You used a high proof alcohol, but I only have an 80 proof vodka on hand. Will that still work?
If you're only using 80 proof, I would let the hulls dry nearly all the way because you need the higher alcohol content due to the moisture of the hulls. :-)
That's an English walnut and not a black walnut. The leaflets are smooth and not serrated and are too few leflets per compound leaf. The husk is oval and not round. Cutting a green husk with a knife is a bit dangerous. It's much simpler to place in a bag to keep clean and smash them. Drive the car over them works well too. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much! identification has been addressed in the other comments, and I appreciate you weighing in. Luckily, the medicinal benefits are very similar. :-)
Personally, when doing the fast infusion method (crock pot or stove top) I like to keep the jar in the warm water for a whole day and sometimes two. Just watch the water level to be sure it doesn't evaporate all the way. Other herbalists are happy with just a couple of hours, but I like my infused oil strong.
This is so neat! Our old house wr had a black walnut tree and I found it a nuisance. The squirrels would tease our dog and throw them at him. Ha! I wish I had this info back then. Thanks for sharing
It's great to know I can infuse black walnuts in oil and not just tinctures. But I listened several times and didn't hear how long to put in crackpot. Could you please let me know?
Robin Hood used Walnut oil to darken his skin as a disguise to sneak past the Sheriff of Nottingham's men. I rubbed husks on dry wood and the oil rejuvinated it immediately. Add lemon oil from the rinds and it should be a good furniture polish or deck preserver.
"Wet" herbs are a big NO, you're absolutely right! For example....you would NEVER want to infuse fresh (not completely dried) dandelion flowers or other "juicy" plants. The hulls of these walnut droops (the fruits) are quite dry. A bit of moisture is usually ok, as in when you infuse St. John's wort buds....if they're dry, they just don't give the best infused oil. Just an example. You can dry the hulls completely, but you won't get the amount of juglone you would otherwise. Thank you for the great comment!
The leaves of your tree are a little larger than mine (a 50+' tree in Ohio), but i have little doubt those are black walnuts; that aroma is very distinctive! The bark and the nuts themselves are pretty identical to mine. I've certainty wished for years that the tree was English walnut, as even though i prefer the English taste best, by far, I'd still use them for cooking, but never wanted to invest in the expensive machine for breaking those shells! Driving over them never seemed a good option for food purposes. Also, the walnut groves of Clovis/Fresno, CA of my childhood were graphed trees. The fruit were English, but the roots were from the black walnut variety, much hardier & pest resistant. The bark was a distinctive darker on the bottom portion, lighter at the top half+. Interesting video. I've disposed of hundreds of nuts this year alone... picked up 416 just today.
Thank you SO much! I appreciate your words because there's been some controversy on the identification here. The property owner told me it was black walnut, others have said no, and some have said it's a hybrid. But! The tincture and oil is still black....and that's the juglone. So it's good for me!
After reading comments, I’m now so confused. Is it a Black walnut tree or an English walnut tree? Next…. Is the ripe hull potentially poisonous? Referred to as juglone or something like that!? Sorry! I’m just new to the possibility of using Walnut tree hulls as a tincture and other types of uses. I had thought all along I had a Black walnut tree. And I had started some trees in pots from squirrels contribution. My doctor said he was growing acres of English Walnuts here in Washington State because of how much easier they were to hull, and more pleasant taste. I told him I had a Black Walnut tree, not exactly easy to hull, and nut meat is bitter. Thank you for your video and information. But possibly you could shine some light on my confusion.
Well, this is the downside of social media---- Since this tree is not on my property, and I no longer have access to it, I can't check it with a local extension office...that is my first move when I want an exact identification. But seriously, I've taken plant samples to our local nursery with VERY long-time experienced nurserymen, and I have gotten wrong identifications. Ideally...try to have at least two and three if possible---positive and matching identifications. That's just a good rule of thumb. Like I said, the property owner told me this was a black walnut....I do know they are more prevalent on the East Coast, though, and this was on the West Coast. BUT they both contain juglone (which is a chemical constituent). The level is a bit lower in English walnuts and this is where the medicine making will differ especially in terms of dosing. I consider walnut hulls a low dose herb, meaning it does have toxicity when taken too long or too much. But for serious and acute needs, it may be a good choice. I hope this helps some!

Yes indeed!
The wood is valuable as well. I’d keep them for health related tinctures though.
just got some black walnuts you confirmed the process. I use coconut oil at 150 no higher than 180F and soak it for 48 hours in my chocolate melter crock pot. Filter it and let it cool. for a tincture just warm it in your hand. just a way I have developed.
This is wonderful! Thanks for sharing your process with us!
What a cutie 🫂
Thanks!
Great video 😊
Thanks! 😊
I bet that tomato was delicious! We had 2 tomato plants in our back yard and they put out 113 tomatoes between the two of them in one season! 113! I counted only the ones that were good enough to eat! I'm in North Kakalaki and we know how to do stuff like that real good here.
That's amazing! Isn't it SO wonderful to grow your own food....and medicine too?
The shells of the nut used in sandblasting. I use the meat when dark rinsed through cement mixer strained pour in mason jar I use the juice hair color. Like honey add sone coconut oil it’s great
I ty[e meat I meant the hull the resin I use for hair dye With honey for conditioner. Or with coconut oil
That's SO interesting! Thanks for the comment!
I'll have to try this!
Black walnuts are round like little tennis balls and very soft (easy) to cut into. The nuts you are using (challenging to husk) and more almond-shaped - I believe, may be English walnuts. Thank you for the instructions, and for all the great info. I have processed our black walnuts both ways, as you taught, but wasn’t sure what to do with it or how to use it. God Bless you Heidi and thank you. 🙏🏼💌
Thank you so much! Yes, there are a number of comments about the identification. Luckily, you can use them both! :-)
One more comment. Something I learned this year and I have been doing this for a while. DO NOT CUT OPEN THE GREEN HUSK WITH A KNIFE. Instead, take a mallet or hammer and smash it on a flat surface. I have a gravel drive, but I have paver stones I used this year to do this. I can now husk 4 or 5 times as many in the same amount of time as it used to take me struggling with a knife. Additionally, your hand, even with gloves, will get sore and bruise or swell if you do enough of them and that can be 10 to 15 freshly fallen ones, or 20 to 25 black walnuts that you have allowed to set out a while. USE A MALLOT! It is also MUCH safer. Wear protective glasses also! God bless all here.
Great tips! Thank you!
What kind of oil was she using?
@@martylanning8133 Olive oil for black walnut husk oil, but vodka *usually) is what is used for tinctures. You don't consume more than about 3 to 10 drops at a time so the alcohol is not a problem. I make both the oils and tinctures.
@@omearica-rc6fp thank you
How long do you leave oil in crockpot?
I have to be quick to beat the squirrels to the black walnuts.
I love them!
Yes, those squirrels do love them too! LOL Good luck!
My neighbor had a black walnut tree, i pick up bunch off ground blackish n maggies, yuk i didnt know about hull, i clean them with a tooth brush took forever n dried em out over several weeks packed em up n winter came i ended up leaving some out daily for the squirrel s. She had the tree cut down so no more issues of em bunking in her building.
Thanks for this great comment! Yes, those maggots are a bit much, arent' they?
My dad, born in 1931, was always on the hunt for black walnuts. He cracked them on a large anvil in our backyard. When I married my father-in-law, born in 1929, made the neatest gifts from black walnut shells and he always has a jar of the meat ready for me when I visited.
That's a wonderful memory! Thanks for the comment!
You put the comma in the wrong place so it says you married your father-in-law.
I am glad I found you today! It appears we are very like-minded. I used to have a website for our organic farm where we raised soy-free chickens for meat and eggs. We also raised sheep, steer, and dairy animals. We sold the farm so I no longer have the website. We even did wild edible workshops on the farm! I LOVE the fact that God has given us all we need to stay healthy! Today I harvested lots of walnuts! I will try the oil infusion. I have never made one. I agree with your mission of having a herbalist in every household. Thank you for the great video.
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! I appreciate you!
I live in SW Missouri and Black Walnuts are almost invasive here. True on the variety. Black Walnuts are a little rounder. I will definitely be trying this come fall. We usually gather them and sell them to "dealers" in the fall. I can't wait to try this. How long do you keep the jar with the oil in the water?
THATS what those green balls are that fall in my backyard all summer?? I was told by my neighbor that they were unripe walnuts, that something was wrong w the tree! Lol what the world...
Yep! :-) Enjoy!
Crazy! I inherited a tree @ 35 years ago. I don't the taste of black walnuts. They are hard to open, so I have trashed every harvest. I recently learned pigs like them and recently had learned of their medicinal value. This is the first walk through I have seen; thank you. This was an off year (not one nut), but I will be ready next year!
Thank you so much for your sweet words!🥰
I'm from Kansas, living in Missouri and black walnuts are delicious In oatmeal cookies, biscotti, Swedish rusks, banana bread and in frosting. My grandma always made me a delicious chocolate with a creamy white frosting with black walnuts in it. The combination is absolutely delicious!
Oh, those all sound SO good! You should do a recipe book---I think people would love this! I know I would!🥰
I agree! A cookbook would be wonderful for those of us without elders aka knowledge!
To bad this is 2yrs old you are interesting God bless😊
Yes, for some reason, YT decided to push this older video out! I'm glad though!
Slow yourself and calm your breathing relax and treat it like natural conversation
Thank you----This is a two year old video, when I was just getting started. I hope I've improved a bit since then! Thank you again----
My yard is covered by them now,
It's a mess, but what a fortune in some ways!
There are so many here
I know---there really are---
The shell is such a wonderful dye base. I will always love the scent of this tree. ❤
It really is!🥰
We have so many trees they bring lots of squirrels
Don't you just love the squirrels?
Yes this is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it😊
My favorite verse!!!
I have a couple of these. Big as hell. Always dropping these big ass green balls. I have tons of these green balls all over my yard.
Thanks for the comment! I had to laugh at your description! SO true---
I think you should have mentioned that black walnut hulls tend to give contact dermatitis. I hope the tinctures don't.
The tincture won't be as rough on the dermis as the hulls in direct contact....BUT everyone reacts differently, so there may be sensitivities for some people. Even OTC meds can cause reactions. The best thing to do is stop using immediately if any sensitivity occurs. Another thing is to do a patch test for those who have very sensitive skin.
Okay so when you say make a tea ☕️, you mean that you can actually drink it like a tea? I am new to using black walnuts for tinctures. I have made inks with them mostly or eaten the nut meats. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information with us.
No, I wouldn't drink it unless you check in with an herbalist who knows and understands your intentions and can help with suggestions---it can be toxic in large amounts. But as a skin wash for topical fungal infections it can be used this way---It may stain, but it's better than the infection!
My wife and i just took walnuts to market. After having the hulls removed we ended up with 472lbs. of nuts.
This is wonderful!!! Congrats!
Franckinsence and myrrh love those also champa etc❤❤
Same here!
Walnut tree can lay out in the woods for years without rotting. Makes since its anti fungal
So true!
I wonder how effective those walnut fruit husks are at ridding worms when there are worms that eat those husks!
That's a good point! But the fungus and parasitic worms are different than these maggots.
Show us the end results and how to use this walnut treatment!
Thank you! I should do a video on this topic!
You have the prettiest eyes!!
Thank you so much!
The old black walnut tree. I come from a long line of old German cabinet makers. Black walnuts were a staple in our house. You could eat all you wanted. I still like the taste of them better than those bland English walnuts. We had five big walnut tree ringing our yard. The walnut tree is the last to get it's leaves in the spring, and the first to loose them in the fall. In the fall in our yard it was wise to wear a hard hat just to walk to the garage. And then there were the squirrels. Over the thirty years we lived there the squirrels became very friendly. We could hand feed them and even pet them as time went by. Black walnut,, plant them if you can, if you don't have much luck that way try my way. Go find a supply of walnuts. Place them in the yard. Find a friendly squirrel who will work cheap and have him plant them.
I just love this!!!
I have MANY black walnut trees and I was very interested in your process, however, you did not show or tell (that I noticed) what part of the fruit you put into the jar. LOL
It was the hulls---
My parents ordered & planted an English (Carpathian) Walnut tree from a catalog when I was a kid, & planted it (I actually found a catalog pg in their basement, yrs ago!). I too, was thinking this tree looked like their tree (they still live there, w/ their almost 40 yr old walnut tree). The leaflets are pretty much always rounded, mostly entire (smooth, not super toothed/serrated), & odd-pinnate (fernlike & like you showed, w/ a leaflet on the end), & scented. The bark starts off grey & smoorh, but develops furrows later, giving it a rougher, slightly darker look as the tree ages. Black walnuts are generally supposed to be even-pinnate (ending in a pair of leaflets, although apparently some will have a single leaflet, that's quite small), serrated, more narrow lanceolate w/ pointier tips leaflets. The bark is (I believe) always a (darker) brown, though I do not know if they start off smooth & become furrowed/rougher w/ age. There are other species in the walnut family, but I have very little experience w/ them, other than helping my friends remove a messy Tree of Heaven. Walnut family members all produce juglones, the allelopathic substance that is particularly adverse to the tomato/potato (Solanaceae family). I did take Botany in college, so hopefully I'm remembering the terminology OK, but even then we didn't discuss this family in those classes, as they aren't common where I live (UT). When harvesting for nuts, that mostly green, but w/ some brown to start peeling from is the easiest & cleanest way to remive the husk. The entire fruiting body is called a drupe.
Thank you SO much for this. I have searched and searched for information on the differences between the two walnuts, and there is nothing useful. Luckily, the chemical constituents of the two trees are very similar, with black walnut having more of the juglone content, which makes it so powerful as an antioxidant and antifungal. But, I'm very pleased with the blackness of my tincture, and have gotten some good results already. The property owner told me it was a black walnut tree. I searched and searched and couldn't find info. Medicinally, they're similar, with black walnut being slightly more powerful. I've thought about removing this video, but it's doing quite well....So I just keep explaining myself over and over again, LOL.
I wish I had seen your explanation of the leave identification when I was doing my research! You should start a plant identification site!!!
I thought that was an odd looking black walnut tree... ouch...
I use to carry a buckeye with me ❤❤
That's cool!
We have lots of black walnut trees on our farm and am curious if you know how or why the iodine resin under the hull would burn the skin ?
My children and I were out foraging walnuts and began to hull them out and my hands got extreme boil /burns much worse than poison ivy which has never happened previously.
Thank you for the wounderfull video and beautiful landscape.
Jeff.
Well, you sure had a reaction to something! I've never heard of burns like this, but some people are very sensitive to different chemical compounds. It's not outside the realm of possibility.
What wonderful information! Thank you.
You are so welcome!🥰
I was concerned for you when you began this video in Oregan, where your mom's black walnut tree is. Glad and grateful that you seemed much happier by the end. I'm compassionate that way. I spent hours today trying to separate black walnut husks from walnuts that fell off the tree today. Tough job and I have bruises on my hand to prove it. A utility knife might have made it easier, but either way, be very careful, they can be very, very tough and the knife can & likely will slip. I know they soften up a bit after a week, but my intuition tells me the fresher, the better, but it's only intuition & may not be correct. Thank you for the tip on heating my fresh oil in water in my slow cooker with the lids off. I've got a quart done for the tincture now (or will be in around 6 weeks) and the oil simply needs to be heat treated. God bless all here, especially the host of this video. I love pleasant hosts with no loud or obnoxious music and straight to the point tips. You accomplish that and more, so I subscribed. Thanks.
Wow! Thank you so very much for both the tips and the compliment! I'm with you---I don't like music when I'm trying to learn....
Thank you for expressing your feelings and unknown knowings, I duly feel confused about the tannins and other medicinal properties fresh versus wormy-black. Will research for myself
You can identify a black walnut by taking the enormous amount of shells, the squirrels deposited in your attic, and compare them to the shells underneath the black walnut tree lol
😂😂😂
very few butternut trees in the wild.
This is a walnut on a property---
They look more like Butter nuts [Juglans cinerea] looks like lemons vs round balls. But I could be wrong.but if correct you might have one of very few trees left alive.@@HeidiVillegas
I believe you have an English walnut tree there.
Yes, indeed! Please do read the comments. The property owner misidentified it, it seems. Luckily the medicinal values are very similar!
Can you use English Walnut hulls too? Thank you Heidi.
Yes! Yes, you sure can.❤️
This is amazing information, I am so glad that I came across your channel this morning. My neighbor next door has 12 Black Walnut trees in their yard and I am going to have to ask them if I can harvest some of their nuts. When the previous owners still had the property, I had permission to take anything I wanted from their Apple, Pear, and Walnut trees, but the new owners moved in this past spring and I have yet to ask for their permission. Also, I am still trying to find any information about the Shagbark Hickory tree and the Hickory nuts, which look identical to the Black Walnut except they don't turn black. I have an 85-year-old tree growing directly outside my back door, and it is just starting to drop nuts now (those that the squirrels are throwing at us that is). I started teaching myself about Holistic medicine starting about a year ago and I am definitely going to look into your channel a bit more and glean any information you are teaching. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us. May God always Bless you with good health, safety, and prosperity in all you do. God Bless ~SuzyJC-in-Central-Southeastern-Ohio_10.02.2023~
Thank you so much, Suzy! I hope you get permission to forage/harvest---that sounds like a wonderful resource for you! Welcome to the community!
I love nature all of it cinnamon and mint all of it up yummy
Me too!
Hmmm. Hulda Clark method in her book The Cure for All Diseases has only 3 days extraction in the 100 proof alcohol..or I use brandy for a super high extraction for the medicinal parasite killing properties. Three days and no longer because beyond that you are getting iodine. You want the tincture to be green. I have done this for 20 years with great success. Also, no peeling the hull, just wash the whole nut with cold water, place approximately 15 green hulls in a crock, preferably with a spigot and cover with alcohol. Cover crock, Open spigot on the third day and filter thru a cloth. Keep in dark brown bottles and use for parasite killing with wormwood and cloves.
Great tips!
Excellent Video!! Good for you for following your own intuition!❤
Thank you!🥰
Wonderful to hear and see the identifying characteristics of botanical specimens -- so important when foraging!
Thanks, Rachel!
I love huckleberry ❤❤
Me too! They grow where I am.
Nut is nut not a fruit. You can chop the sides (no peeling) part by part while the nut sits on your board. Much easier than holding it in hand.
Thank you!
Love your videos can you take black walnut tinctures with other tinctures?
Yes, you can, but be sure to do your research before taking and combining them.
Wow....our black walnuts are tougher than that.
These may be English.....there's been some controversy. I was told they were black walnuts, though. :-)
Btw this is the common walnut tree black walnut have a citrus smell on their skin
I've addressed this in so many of the comments. Thank you so much for writing in! Luckily, medicinally, (which is my use) the English are great too! The property owner told me it was black walnut, and I'm a forager from the Mojave Desert and N. Idaho areas....no black walnuts where I'm at! I believed the property owner....a big mistake.
I remember you saying that when infusing oils that we want them to be dried. Is it possible to to lay the green hull out in Texas sun for an afternoon or so then infuse? I also hear that freezing breaks cells walls so that would help to extract….
You could certainly try this!
Thank you, Heidi! Wish I could have been there in that beautiful locale with you. I made a Black Walnut salve with Calendula, plantain and lavender and it’s amazing. A gorgeous earthy colour and scent. Doesn’t stain the skin. 👍🏼💌Black walnut is a powerful medicine, amazing functions/uses. A beautiful gift. God provides for our needs, that’s for certain.
Now ...if We could somehow bottle that initial scent of the outer shell of a fresh-picked ripe walnut - that lime, citrusy, pine like scent would make a great men’s cologne. But the scent becomes more iodin-ish once the shell is cracked open and exposed to air, as it oxidizes quickly. That fresh outer peel scent is so uplifting!!
Yes! Thank you for the great tips and comment!
Hello Heidi! I recently found your page and I’m so glad I did! I have access to black walnuts this year and want to try your method for making the oil. You used a high proof alcohol, but I only have an 80 proof vodka on hand. Will that still work?
If you're only using 80 proof, I would let the hulls dry nearly all the way because you need the higher alcohol content due to the moisture of the hulls. :-)
@@HeidiVillegas Thank you. So would Everclear be a good choice? But if I did let the hulls dry, wouldn’t they turn black?
A great big thank you for all the info on black walnuts.
You're so welcome!
They grow wild where I live .
Thank you !
You're so welcome!
That's an English walnut and not a black walnut. The leaflets are smooth and not serrated and are too few leflets per compound leaf. The husk is oval and not round. Cutting a green husk with a knife is a bit dangerous. It's much simpler to place in a bag to keep clean and smash them. Drive the car over them works well too. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much! identification has been addressed in the other comments, and I appreciate you weighing in. Luckily, the medicinal benefits are very similar. :-)
The leaves are different than ares in are areas
Thank you----I've replied quite a lot on this!
You never said how late long to steep the green hulls in the crock pot. An hour? Overnight?
Personally, when doing the fast infusion method (crock pot or stove top) I like to keep the jar in the warm water for a whole day and sometimes two. Just watch the water level to be sure it doesn't evaporate all the way. Other herbalists are happy with just a couple of hours, but I like my infused oil strong.
I found them at the park, but by the time I was ready to cut them, they had turned
Partially black and had maggots inside.😮
You can still use them, as long as they're not too disgusting. Mine had a few maggots too! I just shooed them out.
This is so neat! Our old house wr had a black walnut tree and I found it a nuisance. The squirrels would tease our dog and throw them at him. Ha! I wish I had this info back then. Thanks for sharing
You're welcome! :-)
Squirrels are edible too so many recipes online 😂
@@flavianofloris4459
So many people online talk about hunting and eating the squirrels, yet I never feasted on any.
🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿 Not yet anyways.🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿
How smart our Creator is! Who else would give anti-inflammatory qualities to the very thing you turned an ankle on!😂
LOL! Yep! So true!
Weeping willow tree 🌴🎄 they can do some damhe also
Yes---the roots love water---
It's great to know I can infuse black walnuts in oil and not just tinctures. But I listened several times and didn't hear how long to put in crackpot. Could you please let me know?
Some herbalists say a few hours....I let this batch go a couple of days, and just refilled the crock pot with warm water as needed.
Robin Hood used Walnut oil to darken his skin as a disguise to sneak past the Sheriff of Nottingham's men.
I rubbed husks on dry wood and the oil rejuvinated it immediately.
Add lemon oil from the rinds and it should be a good furniture polish or deck preserver.
That is SO cool! Thanks for this great comment and the interesting uses, too!
Have you seen a Butter Nut, AKA White Walnut?
I have not. I'll look this up!
You spoke on oil and herbs and I often see people making herbal oil with wet herbs and I always think OMG, what are they doing.
"Wet" herbs are a big NO, you're absolutely right! For example....you would NEVER want to infuse fresh (not completely dried) dandelion flowers or other "juicy" plants. The hulls of these walnut droops (the fruits) are quite dry. A bit of moisture is usually ok, as in when you infuse St. John's wort buds....if they're dry, they just don't give the best infused oil. Just an example. You can dry the hulls completely, but you won't get the amount of juglone you would otherwise. Thank you for the great comment!
I believe I've heard that pawpaw trees and autumn olive bushes can grow under walnut trees. I haven't tried it yet so do your own research.
I wouldn't be surprised---- Some things will grow anywhere!
Could you of used a dehydrator to dry the walnuts
Yes, that would work!
The leaves of your tree are a little larger than mine (a 50+' tree in Ohio), but i have little doubt those are black walnuts; that aroma is very distinctive! The bark and the nuts themselves are pretty identical to mine. I've certainty wished for years that the tree was English walnut, as even though i prefer the English taste best, by far, I'd still use them for cooking, but never wanted to invest in the expensive machine for breaking those shells! Driving over them never seemed a good option for food purposes. Also, the walnut groves of Clovis/Fresno, CA of my childhood were graphed trees. The fruit were English, but the roots were from the black walnut variety, much hardier & pest resistant. The bark was a distinctive darker on the bottom portion, lighter at the top half+. Interesting video. I've disposed of hundreds of nuts this year alone... picked up 416 just today.
Thank you SO much! I appreciate your words because there's been some controversy on the identification here. The property owner told me it was black walnut, others have said no, and some have said it's a hybrid. But! The tincture and oil is still black....and that's the juglone. So it's good for me!
After reading comments, I’m now so confused.
Is it a Black walnut tree or an English walnut tree?
Next….
Is the ripe hull potentially poisonous? Referred to as juglone or something like that!?
Sorry! I’m just new to the possibility of using Walnut tree hulls as a tincture and other types of uses.
I had thought all along I had a Black walnut tree. And I had started some trees in pots from squirrels contribution.
My doctor said he was growing acres of English Walnuts here in Washington State because of how much easier they were to hull, and more pleasant taste.
I told him I had a Black Walnut tree, not exactly easy to hull, and nut meat is bitter.
Thank you for your video and information. But possibly you could shine some light on my confusion.
Well, this is the downside of social media---- Since this tree is not on my property, and I no longer have access to it, I can't check it with a local extension office...that is my first move when I want an exact identification. But seriously, I've taken plant samples to our local nursery with VERY long-time experienced nurserymen, and I have gotten wrong identifications. Ideally...try to have at least two and three if possible---positive and matching identifications. That's just a good rule of thumb.
Like I said, the property owner told me this was a black walnut....I do know they are more prevalent on the East Coast, though, and this was on the West Coast. BUT they both contain juglone (which is a chemical constituent). The level is a bit lower in English walnuts and this is where the medicine making will differ especially in terms of dosing.
I consider walnut hulls a low dose herb, meaning it does have toxicity when taken too long or too much. But for serious and acute needs, it may be a good choice.
I hope this helps some!
@@HeidiVillegasthank you so much for taking your time to explain. It means so much to me.
Thank you. I have a black walnut tree out back. My mom used to make Vanilla black walnut fudge.
I bet that was so good!
CRUSH THE OUTER SHELL. IT WON'T HARM HARD INNER SHELL.ITS QUICKER JUST STOMPING ON THEM TAKES OUTER SHELL OFF.
