HERB - witch hazel

[ladygrania@juno.com]

Greetings Katerina,

I have used witch hazel as a base for a sage concoction for men.  I
believe that I just washed and dried the sage and put it in the bottle
with the witch hazel to steep for a few days replacing it and going a
couple of days again until I got a scent that I liked.  Remember that
witch hazel is an astringent and if you get a little sunburn skip putting
it on the sunburned area as sunburn dehydrates the skin anyway.
