Witch Hazel

Witch hazel, also known as Hamamelis, is a shrub that primarily occurs in North America and parts of Asia. The bark and leaves of the plant are often used to make an extract, known for its astringent and soothing properties. Traditionally, witch hazel is used in herbal medicine, both by humans and in veterinary medicine.

In dogs, witch hazel can be applied to relieve skin irritations and may help reduce itching. It can also be used to soothe inflamed areas. For chickens, witch hazel can be beneficial in promoting healthy skin and supporting recovery from minor injuries.

In horses, witch hazel is sometimes used in lotions or sprays to treat skin issues and relieve irritations. It can contribute to healthy skin and promote the well-being of the animal. The use of witch hazel should always be done in consultation with a veterinarian to ensure proper application and dosage.
