Description: There is something nice and special about the people who love plants .*.*. Welcome to my Beautiful World of Gardening! .*.*. You will receive: 10 oz of skins also called husks of Black Walnut nuts.In October-November, they are still somewhat fresh, not completely dry.These are 100% organic. I don't use any chemicals.A little bit of white mold is normal. Small white fly worms can be found in soggy/fresh husks. They will dye when you dry the husks. Make your own dies and tinctures. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A black walnut tincture is easy to make at home, and all it takes is a fresh supply of ripe black walnuts. The resulting tincture is used to purge parasites and as a topical anti-bacterial. It also has the added benefit of being an emergency iodine supplement. Besides it’s used as an anti-parasitic agent, a black walnut tincture is also anti-fungal and anti-bacterial due to the high levels of tannins extracted from the black walnut hulls. Not only is black walnut tincture a potent medicine, it’s also one of the few land-based sources of iodine. While you can forage for salt deposits inland or extract salt from plant material when you’re far from ocean salt sources, most inland sources of salt lack iodine. Black walnuts, specifically black walnut husks, are a great source of iodine in a pinch. Other sources say that it contains enough iodine to be used as a topical anesthetic for wounds. Given that black walnut tincture also contains tannins which are antibacterial, and this makes sense even if iodine levels are in fact relatively low. Add in the fact that it’s in a suspension of high-proof alcohol, and you’ve got a great recipe for wound sterilization. The hull themselves are very staining, so much so that black walnut has been used historically as a wood stain, natural ink and hair dye. Use gloves when handling black walnuts or your hands will be stained brown for weeks. Place the hunks of black walnut hull in a jar. Pick a jar that you don’t mind losing because the tincture will stain the glass and it will not wash off. Fill the jar to within about 2 inches of the top with black walnut husks. Once the jar is nearly full, fill it to the top with alcohol. You don’t need anything high proof here, just a cheap bottom-shelf vodka. Store the infusing tincture out of direct sunlight and allow it to infuse for 1-2 months. Give the jar a shake every time you think about it, but be extra sure the lid is on tight. Once the tincture has fully infused, strain it through a fine-mesh strainer and store it in amber dropper bottles until needed. Black Walnut Powder Besides a black walnut tincture, the green hulls can also be dried to make a black walnut powder. The powder is a bit more versatile since it can be mixed with water to make it into an ink, dye or wood stain. A black walnut powder can also be used for medicinal purposes just like a tincture (but without the alcohol). I’ve also seen it made into a salve for topical antifungal use.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Plant Kindness
