Do you usually throw away the thin partitions inside walnuts while shelling them? You may want to stop doing that — and here’s why…
It turns out that the real power of the walnut lies not in its hard shell but in those thin inner partitions we often discard. My grandmother used to pour boiling water over them and let it steep — and now I finally understand why.
1. Replenishes Iodine Deficiency in the Body
According to specialists, iodine deficiency in the body can lead to numerous health problems, including thyroid disorders, mastopathy, uterine fibroids, and prostate adenoma.
Symptoms of iodine deficiency often include general fatigue, hand tremors, irritability, memory issues, and high blood pressure. It’s common among the elderly, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and people who spend long hours in front of computer screens.
How to Prepare the Infusion:
- ½ cup of walnut partitions
- Place the partitions in an enamel pot
- Add 2 cups of cold water
- Bring to a boil and remove from heat
- Let sit for 10 minutes
- Strain and drink like a strong tea
Dosage: Drink a small amount before meals, three times a day. Continue for 1 to 4 weeks, until iodine applied to the skin is no longer absorbed (a sign of adequate levels in the body).
2. Treats Conjunctivitis
Grind the partitions in a coffee grinder. Pour 1.5 cups of cold water over ½ cup of powder. Simmer on low heat for 20 minutes. Strain through a multi-layered cheesecloth. Dip cotton pads into the liquid and apply to the eyelids for a few minutes daily for one week.
3. Helps With Prostate Adenoma, Prostatitis, and Ovarian Cysts
Pour 1.5 cups of boiling water over 2 tablespoons of walnut partitions. Simmer for 20 minutes, steep for one hour, and drink three times a day.
4. Alcohol-Based Walnut Tincture
Highly recommended for thyroid disorders, digestive issues, joint pain, and hypertension.
Preparation: Fill one-third of a dark glass bottle (0.5 L) with walnut partitions. Top it with vodka. Let steep for 2–3 weeks, then strain.
Usage: Take 1 tablespoon before meals.
5. Treats Diabetes
Pour vodka over 2 tablespoons of partitions until fully covered. Steep for one week. Take 5–6 drops daily diluted in 2 tablespoons of water.
Course: 3 weeks to 3 months, with regular blood sugar monitoring.
6. Relieves Joint Pain and Sciatica
The vodka-based tincture can be used topically for rubbing into painful joints or the lower back in cases of sciatica.
Traditional medicine also recommends walnut partition infusions for:
- Digestive disorders
- Memory improvement
- Headache relief
- Uterine fibroids and mastopathy
- Nervous tension and insomnia
It’s hard to believe such a small, commonly discarded natural ingredient could offer so many health benefits — but it truly does.
Important: Always consult your doctor before starting any herbal treatment to ensure there are no contraindications.
