Walnut is a guarantee of health

Did you know that walnuts contain absolutely everything a person needs: from fats, proteins, salts, microelements and ending with a luxurious “bouquet” of vitamins? If you want to know more about the benefits of nuts, read on!

In the Caucasus and Moldova, a tradition is still alive: if a child is born, plant a walnut tree for him. It will feed you and cure you of all diseases. And in terms of the totality of healing properties, the walnut has no equal.

According to Greek legends, even the immortal gods ate these nuts when descending from heaven. Nut “milk” (ground nuts with water) has long been fed to babies who have lost their mother, and nursing mothers themselves ate heavily on nuts.

No headache

Because of the core's resemblance to the brain, the ancients believed that it cured headaches and served as food for the mind. This is fully confirmed by modern science - a complex of biologically active substances has been found in walnuts, which have a beneficial effect on the blood vessels of the brain, helping to prevent and even cure atherosclerosis. If you eat several kernels a day, you can relieve severe nervous tension. By the way, this will help avoid premature aging.

No cardiovascular diseases

Ripe walnut kernels contain 58-77% of one of the best vegetable oils, rich in mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. These oils are the strongest antioxidants. They have an excellent effect against all diseases of the cardiovascular system and liver. Alpha-linoleic acid, commonly known as Omega-3, has shown unique properties in the prevention and treatment of cancer. It is able to dissolve adhesions, scars, fibroids, fibroids, cystic and other tumors, and helps treat joint diseases.

No hypertension

Crushed kernels with honey are useful for weakened patients with hypertension and pulmonary tuberculosis. Due to their high magnesium content, nuts reduce blood pressure, have a choleretic effect and are recommended 75-100 g per day with bread for the treatment of biliary tract diseases.

No eye and ear diseases

Walnut oil is used in the treatment of conjunctivitis, blepharitis, inflammation of the middle ear, and urolithiasis. An oil infusion is prepared from 50-80 g of chopped fresh leaves and 300 g of sterile sunflower oil, infused at room temperature for 15-20 days.

No fungus

In general, all parts of the walnut have medicinal properties: leaves, green pericarp (peel), partitions and buds. They contain flavonoids, glycosides, β-carotene, a huge amount of vitamin C (8 times more than black currants!), B1, B6, P, E, and tannins. But the main value is represented by α- and β-juglones, which have antitumor activity. The leaves have the strongest phytoncidal, bactericidal and antifungal properties. And their ethereal fractions are destructive to protozoa, including Trichomonas, which have become a real scourge of humanity. Placed next to nut leaves, they die within 12-18 seconds.

No rashes

Decoctions of leaves and shells of unripe fruits are added to baths for children with scrofula and exudative diathesis, used for lichen and rashes, dry and wet eczema, neurodermatitis, fungal infections, inflammation of the lymph glands, psoriasis, streptococcal and staphylococcal diseases of the skin and mucous membranes, periodontal disease and gingivitis
