WITCH HAZEL is a natural remedy for ACNE, ECZEMA, BUG BITES, POISON IVY, RAZOR BURN, HEMORRHOIDS, and VARICOSE VEINS (appearance)! Witch Hazel is an astringent and anti-inflammatory!  It fights signs of sun damage and aging!  It cleanses the hair and protects the scalp!  It may stop ear infections from developing.  Also, when applied to the skin, stops odor and bug bites on your pet(s) by stopping excess bacteria.  And something that you may not know, it removes ALL stains from clothing (blood, grass, etc.) better than anything (and yes, I learned that from working for a dry cleaners long before finding out  about natural health)  Another amazing gift from God!
