The benefit of walnut oil is becoming more readily apparent. Walnut oil is excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids which help prevent heart disease, cancer and weight problems. It is also rich in antioxidants. Walnut oil is dense in ellagic acid, which aids in controlling the replication of malignant tumours and has anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antiseptic properties. Consumptions of walnut oil has also been shown to lower total LDL (lower cholesterol) and studies have shown that walnut oil helps in lowering endothelin, therefore reducing the chances of developing heart disease.
Other than providing internal health benefits, walnut oil is quick drying and therefore is highly prized in the art of massage because it leaves the skin feeling refreshed. It is used to moisturise the skin, treating wrinkles as well as combating skin problems such as fungal infections, warts and eczema.
