I have Used witch hazel personally with my hemorrhoids and it helped me to sooth the pain associated with hemorrhoids and also helped me with the healing process.
However at the time I didn't know what I know today and never followed some simple basic hemorrhoid treatments.
So the hemorrhoids returned soon after with a vengeance.
Also when my hemorrhoids became a little more complicated and I re-used witch hazel cream. I found that the hazel cream for hemorrhoids did not help me at all this time around.
I had to find an alternative stronger cream to help me relieve the hemorrhoid pain.
