The Plant Hamamelis
Plant part: Sheet
Origin: France
Hamamelis Virginia is, as its name suggests, a tree native to North America. Introduced to Europe, it has since been widely cultivated and used in Europe for its medicinal virtues.
Also known as “witches’ hazel”, witch hazel is a plant with fascinating origins and properties. Amerindian shamans have been using it for its virtues since the dawn of time. This traditional knowledge was then passed on to Western settlers and continues to this day. It is used to relieve signs associated with circulatory disorders, face, legs, intestines..
At Essenciagua, we distill it during the summer, to extract its hydrolat, from the fresh leaf hand-picked in nearby Ardèche🍃. Our hydrolat is a concentrate of its benefits. We extract less than 1 liter per Kg of plant. It is therefore of absolutely rare quality and organically grown.
In addition to its traditional medicinal use as a drink or topically, Hamamelis hydrosol can be enjoyed on its own or in a blend. We offer you Circul’O, a blend of Hamamelis, Italian Helichrysum and Yarrow hydrosols, a perfect synergy for circulatory comfort.
