Advantages: Useful and inexpensive

Disadvantages: Strong smell, avoid the eyes

Witch Hazel is one of the most useful and versatile natural remedies I know of. It should be kept in every bathroom cabinet.

I use it as the first line of defence in treating spots. It dries them up and promotes healing. This is particularly good for teenage spots and oily skins.(Avoid the eyes.)

Undiluted Witch Hazel is soothing if applied to grazes and bruises. It seems to lessen bruising too. The cool feeling on your skin helps you feel better anyway.

I also use it on insect bites and stings as the cool, soothing action helps to stop irritation.

Witch Hazel is available in various forms. There are sticks which you simply rub on where required and a liquid form. The sticks are useful and easy to cary around but they are a bit more expensive than the liquid which can be bought for less than a pound in chemist shops.
