Witch Hazel Leaf cut 1oz

Native to the Atlantic and North America, and cultivated in Europe and Asia, Witchhazel, or Hamamelis virginiana, saw a great deal of use medicinally among Native Americans. They believed it to be of use in a general tonic, brewed as a tea and used for treating anything from cuts to colds, from heavy menstruation to tumors. Indeed, they also frequently used the wood of the plant for other purposes; the name Witch hazel itself comes from the Anglo-Saxon word wych, meaning flexible, and was applied to the plant after observation of the Native Americans using it to make their bows.
