Trish <<Those of you using a lot of witch hazel - are you using drug store stuff, or is there a " better " product elsewhere? Anyone getting it by the gallon? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Witch Hazel has been used for centuries as a staple in every witch's pantry. It can be used for temporary wort relief and removal (especially on the nose). Can be combined with Wolfs Bane and Nightshade to control scratchy throats after a long night of moon howling, a must have when casting invisibility and flying spells. In ancient times it was called Hamamelis Virginiana named after Virginia the Putred from Hammerschligle, who originally distilled the mixture with her sister Haganina Hammerschligle Volkshnidel. I think it was Shirley Booth who started calling it " Witch Hazel " after a long night of partying with Mr. B one Holloween night back in 62. The name is derived from the use of the twigs as divining rods, just as hazel twigs were used in England. The word witch has its origins in Middle English wiche, from the Old English wice, meaning " pliant " or " bendable " , and which also gives us Wicker and weak. It is mostly used as a topical astringent, has anti bacterial and skin tightening properties. It is used in many Mens aftershaves and balms. I manufacture a rose astringent with it and it also is great for spraying on newly formed Bath Fizzies to create a harder shell. Check out the internet for more specific info. OF course I made up most of this, it is up to you to determine which is true. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
