Hamamelis Virginiana is a homeopathic remedy made from the plant of the same name.
It is a shrubby plant that belongs to the Hamamelidaceae family and is mainly found in North America.
The Indians already used it to treat tumours and inflammations, to stop bleeding and for heavy menstruation.
Thanks to its many virtues, witch hazel is now a widely used plant in the West.
It is particularly recognised for its effectiveness in treating venous disorders.
Angiology
Hamamelis Virginiana is used to treat all forms of venous trauma or venous congestion.
Thanks to the flavonoids it contains, it acts as a venous tonic.
It regulates blood circulation and strengthens blood and lymphatic vessels.
Hamamelis Virginiana is therefore an effective treatment for varicose veins.
It is particularly recommended when vein pain is accompanied by swelling of the legs.
It also helps to combat heavy legs.
Proctology
Hamamelis Virginiana is recommended for the treatment of haemorrhoids.
It works by reducing the pain caused by this condition and preventing the recurrence of further haemorrhoidal episodes.
This remedy is particularly suitable when haemorrhoids are painful, accompanied by bleeding, and the symptoms are aggravated by heat and touch.
Ophthalmology
Hamamelis Virginiana is recommended for the treatment of eye pain associated with retinopathy and retinal detachment.
The use of this remedy is particularly justified in people who have red eyes and at the same time experience ocular discomfort manifested by a feeling of having grains of sand in the eyes.
