Ingredients

Witch Hazel

Directions

Witch Hazel has been around for as long as anyone around can

remember. It is inexpensive and there are so many uses for it

from head to toe. Here are a few...

Blemishes.....Mix witch hazel and a few drops of Tea Tree

oil and wipe over the face twice a day to control oil, and

blemishes...

Mix witch Hazel in a spray bottle with 5 drops of peppermint

oil to use as a bug repellent when outdoors. Spray on. Witch

Hazel can be applied to bug bites to take the itch away also...

Witch Hazel can cool tired feet and when mixed with peppermint

or Eucalyptus oil, can soothe tired muscles...

Use Witch hazel straight as an astringent to keep pores clean

and to shrink them...

There are also Witch Hazel shampoos that are

sold in health food stores. You can also take 1 ounce of Witch

Hazel and addit to an 8-10 ounce bottle of shampoo. (Great

for the scalp).

"Witch Hazel is also good for small sores, scrapes and bruises.

It inhibits (stops) the bleeding. If you put it on a small

sore or scrape, it will burn a little. But, for all 3, they

heal faster. I had heard this with bruises and didn't really

believe it. I tried it on a big bruise I had one time, put the

Witch Hazel on 1/2 of it and let the other 1/2 heal on its own.

The 1/2 with the Witch Hazel healed in about 3-4 days. The other

1/2 took almost 3 weeks. Also, the fresher the bruise, scrape

or sore, the faster it works."

Witch Hazel also works wonderfully for tired eyes -

put on cotton pads and place on eyes for 15 min.& tired red eyes

disappear and your sparkle is back...

Salons do scalp treatments for clients but if you can't

afford one, try this mini one. Thoroughly brush the hair

and scalp, take a pick and gently "comb" the scalp from

front to back. This loosens the dry skin that accumulates

on the scalp. Apply Witch Hazel all over the scalp and

massage it in for a few minutes. Leave on 5 minutes and

shampoo and condition using cooler water than you usually

use.

Witch Hazel applied to burns or sunburn will soothe and

heal the skin quickly.

Witch Hazel applied on a cold sore when you feel it coming

on will prevent it from becoming a blister. If you already

have one, use it right away and often and the blister will

heal quicker.
