inflamation from injury

[Calla Lily MoonStudent]

hello, this is my first post …. thought i would mention, i have been around nearly 70 years… have been using witch hazel compresses with much success most of my life for injury related swelling and bruising… learned this when i ran away from home and joined the race track at 17 years old… it is very effective on race horses and a treatment of choice along with icing… in case any one is interested… i am sure i will have lots of questions as my studies progress…  best wishes to all… Thank you Doc for the opportunity to learn more and become proficient in herbal practice… a lifew long interest of mine finally coming to fruition

Thank you for telling us about witch hazel compresses.

Thank you for the info!  I had no idea about witch hazel compresses.  I have always used Arnica for helping to reduce bruises and swelling.

I have just recently read about the different uses of witch hazel.  Glad to add this to them!

can an infusion be made with witch hazel and a plant such as goldenrod or yarrow?

[Robin BlairStudent]

Thanks for sharing from your experience.  Looks like I’ll have to plant some witch hazel!

My aunt used witch hazel a lot. I wish she was still around now that I’m interested in this kind of knowledge.

Thank you for sharing about witch hazel compresses. I’m a new student and very excited to learn from the courses and each of you.

I just saw a You Tube video the other day, by another herbalist.  She infused magnesium chlor- something flakes (pretty sure it’s a well-known brand of bath salts) ;), comfrey leaves, and elder leaves with witch hazel to make a bruise spritz.  I am definitely interested in trying that!
