Black Walnut
The bittersweet and nutritious oil of the black walnut has a long history
of medicinal and food uses. Once used as treatment for diphtheria and
syphilis, black walnut is now used mostly for the astringent properties of
its hulls and bark. It has been used world-wide for several centuries for
its anti-parasitic, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal actions and remains in
use today. Studies of black walnut are scarce. However, the existing data
coupled with overwhelming cross-cultural use of black walnut in treating
similar health conditions for centuries cannot be ignored. Further studies
are certainly warranted and deserving for the use of black walnut in
Western medicine.
Directions
Apply Bianca Rosa salve/ointment morning and evenings, or as directed by a health care practitioner. On a moist cotton wool pad or with the fingertips, apply to the desired area of the body. Massage onto thoroughly cleansed skin with a gentle circular motion.
