Most often applied to the skin and scalp, witch hazel is widely known for its ability to ease inflammation and soothe sensitive skin. It’s far-reaching benefits and may be useful in the treatment of inflammatory-related issues, such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, inflamed, irritated or broken skin.

Witch hazel is often used as a natural remedy to provide relief from the discomfort and pain caused by hemorrhoids.
 
Witch hazel is rich in tannins, a natural plant compound with powerful antioxidant properties that can help protect your skin against damage when applied topically. Tannins can act as a barrier, preventing inflammation-causing substances from entering your skin cells, neutralize harmful free radicals and prevented the spread of skin cancer cells.
 
Some studies indicate that witch hazel may be beneficial in fighting certain types of viral infections. The tannins in witch hazel exhibited antiviral effects against both influenza A and human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes simplex virus (which is often the culprit behind cold sores). For this reason, witch hazel is often applied topically as a natural remedy to help fight cold sores and relieve symptoms.
