Witch Hazel Organic - Hamamelis

Originally from North America, imported into Europe during the 18th century, the witch hazel is a shrub with scented spider-shaped flowers of yellow or red color, whose characteristic feature is that they grow simultaneously with the fruit. The name of this plant actually comes from from the Greek "Hama" (at the same time) and "Mêlo" (apple or fruit) since fruits and leaves appear concurrently. Historically praised by the Amerindians for its multiple beneficial virtues, the Hamamelis is known as "witch hazel" because of its leaves similar to those of the hazel tree.
