Arsenic’s aphrodisiac effects have been written about a quite a lot. In 1889 there was a highly publicized murder in Liverpool England, where a woman named Florence Maybrick was accused of poisoning her husband with an arsenic laced beef extract. She was convicted and incarcerated for fifteen years as a result. Now arsenic is exclusively known as a poison, but the trial was complicated by the fact that arsenic had countless household uses in the 19th century. There was arsenic fly paper, arsenical cat poison, pesticidal arsenic preparations for taxidermy, and various forms of pharmaceutical arsenic, not to mention home made arsenic-based cosmetic solutions, which was what Florence Maybrick was interested in. Anyway, arsenic was also used as an aphrodisiac, and her husband was extremely interested in it for exactly that purpose. Apparently he was consuming no less than 20mg of arsenic trioxide per day to “excite passion.” So even though his blood and liver contained arsenic at the time of the autopsy he was not poisoned by Florence Maybrick, but simply trying to keep the fires of love burning in his loins. The word “poison” is tricky though, as there really is no such thing a poison, only medicines that are lethal at a comparatively low dose. Yet most of the chemicals that are generally recognized to be deadly poisons have a significant history of being used as an aphrodisiac. You could probably draw some sociochemical conclusions from that, but I won’t go there.
According to the doctrine of signatures, walnuts should exert some medicinal effect on the brain because their are divided into regions that look like cerebral hemispheres marked with gyri and sulci, and just generally look brain-like.
