10 Health Benefits of Witch Hazel
Witch Hazel Benefit #5: Helps Wound Healing
Witch hazel can also be a great remedy for healing wounds. This is due to the fact that it is rich in tan-nins. Tannins are powerful with antioxidants and, if used topically, they can protect your skin and aid its healing processes.
Witch hazel has the ability to prevent substances that cause inflammation from entering the skin. It is also able to prevent and neutralize harmful free radicals. When used topically, the procedure is very similar to reducing puffy eyes: first, apply it on a cloth or cotton ball and then on the affected area. More research is necessary on this subject, as most studies so far have been done on animals.
