Witch Hazel is a cooling topical astringent for various ailments including varicose veins, hemorrhoids, abrasions, bruises and other skin irritations. Also good for clearing up the redness from eczema and smoothing wrinkles. Relieves itching from insect bites & poison ivy. Helps dry out cold sores. But it is best to stay away from the commercially produced stuff you find in regulsr stores, Go to an herbal shop.

According to Wikipedia, its a shrub. The bark and leaves are astringent; the extract, also referred to as witch hazel, is used medicinally. Extracts from its bark and leaves are used in aftershave lotions and lotions for treating bruises. Witch hazel is the active ingredient in many hemorrhoid medications.

Use it on your face as a toner to close pores.

I developed hemorrhoids about 3 years ago because of the long hours spent working in my cubicle. My doctor tried to do everything in her power to help me, but unfortunately the medication didn't work. Surgery was out of the question! At that point, I was helpless, embarrassed and with almost no social life, so I've decided to try something else.

I bought this book on how to get rid of hemorrhoids naturally, "Hemorrhoids No More" by Jessica Wright, doctor and independent remedy researcher ( available in electronic format + video here: http://www.hemorrhoidsnomore.net ). After reading the book and taking action in 48 hours the pain, irritation, itching and bleeding was gone. To my surprise I was able to permanently cure my hemorrhoids 100% naturally.

We need to stop paying paying each month good money on drugs, creams and oils. This is exactly what the pharmaceutical industry wants us to do! They want to milk money from us each month. Good luck!

It is a plant with an astringent sap used in topical cremes. (Shaving & hemmoroid cremes plus make-ups.)

im pretty sure its a herb. you can get it as an extract too though. i think what it does is shrink the blood vessels whereever you put it topically. people use it for hemroids.
