General Information:
Hamamelis virginiana prefers northern-facing slopes, riverbanks, fences, and other places with shade and well-drained soil. This plant ranges all over the lower 48 states of the U.S. and up into Nova Scotia and Ontario in Canada. Witch hazel is a deciduous shrub that boasts compact clumps of yellow or orange-red flowers with long, thin petals and hard, black seed pods. The plant reaches about 15 feet in height and flowers in the fall or winter. The flowers are pale to bright yellow, rarely orange or reddish, with four ribbon-shaped petals 10–20 mm long and four short stamens and grow in clusters; flowering begins in about mid-fall and continues until late fall.
How to use:
Hot Infusion:
The basic method for dried herbs and flower is, take 2-3 tablespoons of dried herb in a cup or teapot. Pour hot water over it and cover it with lid for 10-30 minutes. Hot water is needed to draw out the antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, flavonoids, and volatile oils from the botanicals. Strain and squeeze out as much as liquid as possible and enjoy!
