Witch Hazel is an astringent often found with the alcohol and hydrogen peroxide in most stores. It is actually considered an herb. The essential oils of the plant are extracted by distillation. It is used to help treat skin blemishes and is also useful for treating hemorrhoids, sunburn, blisters, etc.

Hemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed veins in the anal canal. They can be itchy, bleeding and/or painful protrusions just under the skin. To get rid of hemorrhoids you can use this natural method that already have thousands of positive reviews https://tr.im/5LKDY
There are two types internal and external. Internal are inside the anal canal in the lower rectum and external are at the anus. They result from increased pressure in the veins often due to straining during bowel movements and during pregnancy. Scratching in an attempt to relieve the itching symptoms further weakens the area and compounds the problem.

It's alcohol - like rubbing alcohol -with a couple of additives. It is super strong and will dry out your skin something awful.

its a natural astringent. Works well to sooth itchy dry skin. It deep cleans without drying. Odor can be someone offensive to some, I just cope with it, because I like it.
