Thayers - What is Thayers Witch Hazel
Witch Hazel is a shrub that can be found in the United States and Canada, from the east coast to as far west as Texas. The plant can grow up to 30 feet high and 20 feet wide. To get the benefits from the shrub, the leaves, bark, and twigs are used to extract a liquid. The liquidated Witch Hazel can alleviate ailments including bug bites, skin irritation, and bruises.
The History of The Shrub:
Witch Hazel is not a new concept or fad. Native Americans used Witch Hazel decades before English-settlers arrived on what is now North America. It was a prominent remedy for generations until modern medicine came around.
