Advantages: really inexpensive, easy to use , can be used frequently

Disadvantages: bottle is just like rubbing alcohol

Among midwives everywhere, witch hazel is widely used to relieve hemmoroids for mom's who've just given birth. You keep the bottle (looks like rubbing alcohol-so be careful) right in the bathroom. All you have to do is apply a generous amount of witch hazel to a couple sterile 4x4 gauze pads and apply directly to rectum. You can also put the witch hazel pads in a baggie, set them in the freezer, and then apply them cold. Can be extra soothing. I used this remedy after all three of my midwife attended home births.
