Even our grandmothers knew very well the healing power of green walnuts. It would be such a shame not to use them even today and to partially replace some commercial medicines with them, which in most cases are not healthy. Walnut trees were highly valued in the past, and if you can, definitely add one to your garden and you’ll see you won’t regret it.
Reducing the risk of heart disease
Prepare an infusion from green walnut husks and replenish levels of calcium, iron, zinc, potassium, vitamins A, B and E. Of course, they also contain antioxidants. Beneficial substances are, of course, also largely found in the nuts themselves, and it is recommended to consume at least one handful a day for optimal mineral supplementation.
For better digestion
If you make a decoction from green walnut shells, you can also use it as an aid for stomach problems. Prepare about 5 tablespoons of shells, pour about 300 ml of water over them and let steep for at least 10 hours. Then remove the husks and simmer for about 5 minutes. Consume the decoction in small amounts for stomach issues such as abdominal pain or intestinal problems.
Against warts
Green walnut husks also help against warts. It is generally recommended to rub the affected area with a fresh green walnut husk several times a day. The compounds present will gradually cause the wart to shrink, possibly resulting in its complete drying out and removal.
Against urinary tract infections or for various skin problems
A broth made from green walnut husks can help against urinary tract infections and various skin problems. It is also recommended for varicose veins or as a remedy for cough problems. Walnuts are truly very versatile, so remember this when their harvest season arrives and prepare interesting natural medicinal preparations from them.
