Witch Hazel: A Cheap and Natural Itch Reliever

This is not an innovation, since witch hazel has been around forever, but I recently saw an article in the Phoenix magazine which confirmed what I have thought about using it with every flange change - it makes a GREAT itch reliever!  What I didn't know is it apparently also discourages yeast growth - sometimes a problem for me due to antibiotics.



It's all natural, very soothing and CHEAP. Let it dry,then use your skin prep and apply flange.  I thought of it because my mom used to treat our insect bites with it when we were kids.
