Witch Hazel?

[John99]

What is it?

Is it just alcohol and water?

The label says:

Active Ingredient - Witch Hazel 86% (that doesn't help)

Inactive Ingredient - Alcohol 14% by volume.

I believe it's the active ingredient in hemorhoid medicine.

Witch Hazel is a plant, and also an astringent extracted from the plant.

Spectacular!

Let's review:

A: Good for hemorhoid (or rather bad for them). If none is available use a rubber band.

B: It (Witch hazel) is a plant

C: Use Googoo - it's for smart people.

Got it.

Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch hazel)

Contains
Tannins, which constrict the area of injury.
Antiseptics

No-one says it doesn't work.
Probably not greatly promoted because not patentable

It's crushed up extract of witches. They make it after they try to drown a woman and she doesn't sink. I learned that in Biology class.

[Nikelodeon]

With a touch of hazelnuts.
