Witch Hazel
Witch Hazel: Witch hazel is a popular home remedy for cuts, bruises, hemorrhoids and sore muscles. More than a million gallons of witch hazel water are sold each year in the United States, making it one of the nation's most widely used healing herbs.
Witch hazel is a tree with branches that are flexible. In fact, American Indians used them to make bows. Native Americans also rubbed witch hazel tea on cuts, bruises, insect bites and aching muscles and joints, and they drank it for a variety of ailments, including colds and menstrual problems. During the 1840s, a Native American medicine man introduced the herb's astringent properties to Theron T. Pond of Utica, New York, who began marketing it. Witch hazel water has been with us ever since. more...
