How to make oil from walnut

The best product is the one that is produced in the traditional way. Cold spinning during production preserves not only all microelements, amino acids and fats. In full in the vitamins remain - the main health pantry.

In the Altai villages, the walnut was cleared of shells on a special device. It looks like an ordinary hand mill, on which the Altaians grind the toasted corn on a talcum( a kind of barley).With a certain adjustment, such a mill cleaves the nuts, and the shells, together with the kernels, roll down into the collecting box.

The kernels, separated from the shell on the winnowing machine, are carried into the press hall. The present pressure press is made of hardwoods, but the containers are made from cedar wood, from a solid tree, the one that dried on the vine. Such wood is surprisingly strong and does not rot.

Cedar sapwood

This product was extracted with the help of a cedar tap. To date, industrial cutting of this tree across Russia is prohibited, and this barbarous way of extracting resin from live cedar wood is not used. But, as the great Russian woodcutter V. V. Dokuchaev said, there is no forest without cutting. Forestry enterprises carry out selective reforestory cuttings. In the course of them, it becomes possible to prepare a small amount of resin, which is now used for medical purposes.

Another kind of cedar oil

Cedar oil, obtained by distillation of cedar lapnika( branches with needles), is widely known to a wide range of readers. This is due to the popularity of fir oil and a ban on cedar felling. But, as mentioned above, the possibilities for small pieces remain. If a forestry enterprise is engaged in the production of fir oil, it is not difficult to drive out cedar oil in small quantities. Migration of equipment for this is not required.

Cedar oil from coniferous foot is, in fact, the same gum, but with a higher content of essential oils and lower - rosin. It is an essence of powerful action for external application. Essential oils, rich in phytoncides and trace elements, are used to treat rheumatism, arthritis and arthrosis, for inhalations for colds. Ingestion in microscopic doses can accelerate recovery in inflammatory processes in the body.
