How to Apply Black Walnut Topically for Fungus

Since ancient times, herbalists have prescribed black walnuts for a variety of ailments. The whole nut--flesh, hulls and oil--is used to regulate the digestive system, expel parasites from your body, treat psoriasis and eczema, and even balance blood sugar and lower cholesterol. In addition, when applied topically, black walnut acts as a fungicide.

  Choose a black walnut preparation to use. Your health food store will have several options to choose from, including tinctures, sprays and creams. It's always best to consult an herbalist for a recommendation. If you prefer not to, talk to the staff assigned to the herbal supplements aisle about potency and the health value of other added substances.

  Apply a small amount of black walnut preparation to the infected area two to three times a day. If you're using tincture, put it on a cloth or cotton ball so the liquid won't run. Both your skin and any clothing that come in contact with the tincture may get stains.

  Supplement your treatment with a black walnut preparation you can take internally if your condition persists. But if it gets worse or you see no improvement at all, consult a doctor.
