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.
Quassia
Found in the Amazon rainforests of South America, this shrubby tree
produces smooth, gray bark, compound leaves, small yellow flowers, and
pea-sized black fruits. The bark of the quassia tree was first introduced
into Europe from Surinam in 1756 and named after "Quassia", a native
healer, who told Europeans of its therapeutic value. Quassia bark is used
in various countries for more or less the same thing, that is, to
stimulate the appetite and promote digestion. The bitter active
ingredients within the bark are responsible for its tonic effect on the
digestive system, increasing the production of salivary juices, stomach
acids, and bile.
