The Witch Hazel tree you mentioned, MB, is an important tree to the Native Americans.
It is medicinal as you know, along with Ginkgo.
Its particulary good for cuts, scrapes, skin irritation, and hemorroids.
Witch Hazel is an anti inflammatory, and makes a great skin tonic.
You can imagine the Indians getting all kinds of cuts and scrapes during a day out in the woods; and then applying some soothing,healing Witch Hazel at night.
Beauty and Utility
That is a nice thumbnail attachment. Btw.
