Witch hazel got its name from the fact that it was considered to be in use by the witches of hundreds of years back; instead, it was commonly used by the medicine people of the time for all sorts of ailments. There are more and more studies that are being conducted on the various benefits of witch hazel for your health, and with every study, science gets a little closer to confirming what people have already known about for thousands of years.

Witch hazel can do wonders for your overall health, your immune system, and your skin; it has a benefit that can be allocated to almost every part of the body. Did you know that witch hazel is incredible for taking care of acne and can be even better than most pharmaceutical alternatives? What about odor removal or allergies? Here are 30 extraordinary uses for witch hazel that you might never have thought of before.

1. Treating Acne

You don’t have acne if you just have one or two pimples that can be taken care of with a few changes to your skincare regimen; acne instead stands as a disorder on its own which can be disastrous to the skin, especially if it goes untreated – or if it is treated too much. Other things that might make acne worse is a genetic predisposition to the condition or the fact that you might be aggravating the condition by trying to treat it yourself without success.

Witch hazel can work wonders for treating severe acne – all you have to do is combine some witch hazel with some of your favorite essential oils and purified water, and apply this to your daily beauty regimen day to day. You’ll see the problem vanish before your eyes, without any negative effects on your skin in the long run like some pharmaceutical treatments.
