Black walnut

It has been known that the husks of certain nuts, such as from black walnuts, contained compounds that possessed antiseptic like qualities. Black walnut husk is a blood cleanser and oxidizer. It has been shown to be useful in lung disease and has strong anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. It is a rich dietary source of protein, iodine, chromium, potassium, manganese, vitamin A and the powerful antioxidant vitamin C. However, black walnut extract which is used to treat athlete's foot, related fungal infections and cancers, as well as to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, can be toxic if taken inappropriately.
