AMERICAN WALNUT

Original of North America. It is characterized to have the rough crust and of dark or black color.

The walnut is a tree all medicinal he. Their leaves are astringents, antiseptic and hipoglucemiantes; the nuts emphasize by their exquisite flavor and its excellent nutritious properties. Today one has demonstrated that, instead of increasing the cholesterol as before one were believed, they diminish it.

Their properties are similar to those of the European walnut. In addition to the rind of its green nuts and to the leaves, the crust in decocción (of 30 to 40 grams by liter of water) like astringent is also used. The indications of this decocción are the same ones that those of the nogalina and the leaves of the walnut.
