Juglans cinerea, also known as the white walnut or tree nut tree, is a fast-growing tree native to North America. Its wood is soft, but its leaves, bark, and nuts are used in homeopathic remedies for various ailments. However, it can cause side effects and should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
Juglans cinerea is a tree native to North America, specifically eastern Canada and the northeastern part of the United States. The tree can also be found in parts of the southern part of the United States, although it is much less widespread. Most people are familiar with the common names of the tree, such as the walnut tree, the white walnut, and the tree nut tree.
Although Juglans cinerea is considered to be a fast growing tree, it is not an extremely large tree. On average, it will grow to be 40 to 60 feet (12.2 to 18.3 m) tall and 12 to 24 inches (30.5 to 61 cm) wide. This deciduous tree has light-colored leaves that are often eaten by deer, and it has brown nuts that provide a plentiful food source for squirrels. In most cases, a tree will live for approximately 75 years. The most common causes of death for the tree include diseases, such as butternut cancer and fire damage.
There are only a few uses for Juglans cinerea. The wood is soft, so it is not good wood. Some people choose to use it to make wood cabinets and decorative furniture, but harder woods like cherry or oak are more common for interior trim.
The nuts, leaves and bark of Juglans cinerea are often used as a homeopathic remedy for people with a wide range of ailments. The leaves can be boiled and made into a tea. By drinking the tea, many people believe that their blood will be cleansed. Also, if the nuts are picked while they are still green, they can be boiled into another type of tea. Green walnut tea is used to treat inflamed intestines and colitis.
People suffering from skin conditions such as eczema, acne, psoriasis, and leprosy can also use Juglans cinerea as a remedy. In addition, the bark of the tree is also believed to treat headaches, high cholesterol, arthritis, parasites, liver disease, jaundice, herpes, constipation, and cancer. For intestinal problems, it can work by increasing the amount of bile that is produced and eliminated. It can also force the intestines to become more active.
Side effects for people using Juglans cinerea as a homeopathic remedy include diarrhea and stomach cramps, specifically for those using it as a laxative. As with any homeopathic remedy, most people, including pregnant or lactating women, should consult their doctor before using it. There is no established dosage table for the people who consume it. As a result, it is better to follow the advice of a doctor.
