I have knee replacement surgery next week on my left knee. I will try the Witch Hazel for the right knee and my fingers as soon as I am back from the hospital. I had to stop taking Celebrex until the surgery and boy am I hurting now!!

Just read about this on another post. The lady was using it on her sore knee. So I bought some. Tried it on my arthritic hands, just so sore & stiff in the mornings. About 20 minutes after rubbing a little on my hands my right hand had no soreness and my left was 50% improved. That's about as good as my left gets. I just made a pinhole in the foil lid, so it just drips out. I used it on my skin, I believe she said to wet a cloth and put the cloth on the sore spot. Guess it would stay moist a lot longer that way. Maybe I'll put a scrap of flannall (sp.), (I must have some scraps, grin), on my left hand and reapply later, Not sure if I need to wait before re-appling, suppose I could read the label, it's just so tiny writing.

I've never used witch hazel for soreness or bruises. I always use arnica for those. It works great!

My Golden Retriever is prone to yeasty ear infections, I use it to wipe her ears out; it helps.

Hmmm, it can't hurt, I might try that on my shoulder. It's been having soreness, limitation for several weeks; ortho doc says it's not needing replacement yet and he sees from the cervical MRI he ordered that it's coming from the destruction in my neck. Now that my achilles tendon tear has been repaired, it's killing me to use the walker to get around, hopping on one leg.
Thanks for the suggestion. Jan in VA Oh Jan, So sorry to hear you are limited to a walker.... hoping you are healing and feeling better soon!!!! (((Hugs))) |
I always wondered about Witch Hazel and now that I know, I will be picking up some with all the suggestions here I will certainly find a use for it! Thank-you for posting this thread!

Good stuff to know, never really knew what it was for. Thanks for posting this.

I am so very glad so many people have discovered witch hazel by my comment earlier in the month. I love this natural remedy it is so cold and healing. You just never know what will come of the things you say on the quilt board. LOL!
