10 Health Benefits of Witch Hazel
Witch Hazel Benefit #3: Soothes a Sore Throat
Witch hazel is also a natural remedy when it comes to fighting inflammation. It works as an astringent, which means it can be used to treat a sore throat. In such a case, it is recommended to mix witch hazel, about one teaspoon of it, with one cup of water and boil it. This mixture should then be used for gar-gling, as it can provide with relief.
It is believed that witch hazel is also great when it comes to fighting the mucus that is caused due to a sore throat, and that it decreases pain and reduces swelling. This type of use of witch hazel has been recommended traditionally for years, but more scientific research is necessary.
