∙ 12y agoAccording to Wikipedia "Witch-hazel is a genus of flowering plants in the family Hamamelidaceae." The extract taken from the bark or leaves is often used for homeopathic medicine, for headaches, fever, migraines, and sinuses. Sometimes this may be in the manner of Witch-hazel tea. The term "Witch's hazel" in the possessive form may come from the fact that witch-doctors and Shamans used this form of medicine; the scientific name of the plant is Hamamelis.
