The Black Walnut was introduced into Europe in 1629. It is cultivated there as a forest tree for its high quality wood. It is more resistant to frost than the Persian Walnut, but thrives best in the warmer regions of Europe of fertile, lowland soils with a high water table. It is a light-demanding species. The wood is used to make furniture and rifle stocks, and oil is pressed from the seeds. Black Walnut has anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, and antiseptic properties, which may be helpful for ringworm, constipation, fungal and parasitic infections, mouth sores, warts, bruising, herpes, poison ivy, acne, eczema, hemorrhoids, and toxic blood conditions. Black Walnut Hulls are harvested throughout many areas of the United States from their natural environment. Black Walnut is rich in nutrients Iron, Iodine, Calcium and Silica.
