Witch Hazel

I just bought a big jug of it as my coach used it all last season under her standing wraps to alleviate inflammation / soreness, but I've been reading up and some people say they will also spray it under their saddle pads before a ride (it helps their horses muscles loosen up) and all over after a ride, to help increase circulation and decrease muscle soreness.

Has anybody personally used it for any of the above? I can't find any 'in depth' information on it.

I can't speak directly to your question but Witch Hazel is what the vet recommended to clean my horse's ears with when he got bit up on the insides.

He loved having his ears wiped with that very cheap Witch Hazel:D

After which, I would put the very expensive Dermalog:-( in those ears to heal the bug bites.

I use it as a toner on my face! It works as a cleanser too!!

I've never used it as a "liniment" but I use it for EVERYTHING! My boyfriend and best friend always make fun of me....zits, rashes, bug bites, cuts, sunburns, makeup remover, for razor burn, for external eye irritation...anything involving skin. I also use it on my Mastiff, she has really sensitive skin and is always getting rashes during season changes. I do not like the smell however! Best brands comes from CT ;)
