Dosage Forms
Witch Hazel Ointment is packaged in convenient 50g safety sealed opaque jars, protected from the damage caused from exposure to light.
Indications
Witch Hazel is one of the most commonly used and best known astringents. Witch Hazel Ointment is indicated for rapid healing of minor wounds, bleeding and hemorrhoids.
Contraindications
For external use only.
Therapeutic Indications
Witch Hazel Ointment is highly astringent, making it ideal wherever there has been bleeding. The ointment is one of the best remedies for temporary relief due to the discomfort of hemorrhoids and has a deserved reputation in the treatment of bruises,
swelling, and varicose veins.
Storage
Witch Hazel Ointment should be stored in a cool, dry area until it is required.
Usage
Witch Hazel Ointment should only be used externally. It can be applied liberally to the affected area, and thoroughly massaged in. Be sure to treat the region adjacent to the wound, as healing is occurring here
too.
If using a bandage, the amount of ointment applied should be increased. This guarantees the area being treated is still exposed to the ointment.
Complimentary Therapies
Proper nutrition is vital to good health. Drink plenty of water (at least 8 glasses daily) and juice instead of coffee, tea or sodas. Try to avoid synthetic ingredients, highly concentrated in prepared or packaged foods, and take a well-balanced
multivitamin and mineral supplement.
Compression, elevation, and ice or heat can be used to alleviate discomfort. A qualified health practitioner should be consulted to confirm which is the best course of treatment for you.
