How do the ingredients of the medicine work?

The ingredients come from the witch hazel plant and act as a natural mixture. About the plant itself:
- Appearance: shrub or small tree about 3 metres high, whose bright yellow, narrow-leaved flowers remain on the shrub at the same time as last year's fruit; the leaves can easily be mistaken for hazelnut leaves.
- Occurrence: North America
- Main constituents: Tannins
- Plant parts and preparations used: mainly extracts and tinctures of leaves, bark and twigs. Tannins react with the proteins of the (mucous) skin. They seal small injuries by forming a thin protective layer on the surface and inhibit inflammation and minor bleeding.
