Witch Hazel salve is concentrated,
mild; but very effective and is used for all around healing. Witch hazel bark [stronger] and leaves
have astringent properties. It is also styptic [retards bleeding]
Most
preparations use an alcohol base, with only trace amounts of the herb. Alcohol dries the skin without giving intended
results.

Just thought
I would let you know that I tried the witch hazel ointment on some insect or spider bites (not sure what bit me). There was
an article in a health magazine giving different remedies from different perspectives. One mentioned witch hazel. The bites
on both feet were bright red, inflamed and very hot, and swollen and itchy. I knew it would become worse if I scratched them,
but I did not think I would be able to go to sleep. I applied the witch hazel salve and it took out the itch immediately.
Next day I soaked my feet in Epsom salts and then applied a baking soda paste (which is supposed to draw out any poison).
I applied the WH salve about 3 times a day for 4 days - they were bad, so it took that long. If any of the bite sites start
to itch again, I apply the salve to them. Magic - no itch. Oh yeah, after this email from you, I also applied tea tree
oil after showering and before the salve.The salve seems to work on hemorrhoids too. I did know that witch hazel
is effective for them. I have used witch hazel in liquid form for blisters on my feet in the past. They shrink and disappear.
