How it works
Contains tannins and gallic acid which act as natural astringents, reducing swelling, itching and minor bleeding by tightening skin tissue.
For external use only. Avoid products with added alcohol which can dry and irritate the skin. Not a treatment for internal haemorrhoids.
Limited but supportive clinical evidence. Witch hazel is widely recommended in clinical guidelines as a safe topical remedy for external haemorrhoid symptoms.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
