Proctosedyl Witch Hazel Ointment is traditionally used in Western herbal medicine for the symptomatic relief of external haemorrhoids and the relief of discomfort and itch associated with external haemorrhoids and minor skin inflammation. It uses naturally-derived Witch Hazel (Hamamelis) water, which gives it a pleasant scent thanks to the use of rosemary oil and lavender oil. The ointment is free from preservatives, paraffin, silicon, and mineral oils. It is made by the makers of the number one brand for the relief of haemorrhoids in Australia. For best results on external haemorrhoids only, apply after a bowel motion, wash and dry the anal area, and then apply a moderate amount of ointment to a finger and gently apply to the affected area up to three times daily. Always read and follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist, consult your health professional. The ointment contains Hamamelis Water 100mg/g from Witch Hazel dry twig.
