About Witch Hazel Skin Care
The plant
The botanical name for witch hazel is Hamamelis virginiana, which is taken from the Greek words "fruits" and "together". This is because the fruits and the flowers of the plant are present at the same time.
It grows on the East coast of America in a range extending from Nova Scotia, west to Ontario and south to Texas and Florida. Common witch hazel flourishes on shaded north-facing slopes, along fence rows, country roads and stony banks of brooks.
The plant is notable in that despite below freezing temperatures the delicate flowers still manage to bloom in winter.

The Mohegan's used boiled extracts of the leaves and twigs to treat cuts, bruises and insect bites.
