Origins: Centuries ago Native Americans discovered the beneficial properties of the Witch Hazel shrub (Hamamelis virginiana) and used its extracts in traditional medicine. The compounds in Witch Hazel help reduce itching and burning. Natural Menthol, whose usage dates back thousands of years, is derived from peppermint (Menta piperita) and other mint oils. It works as a natural cooling and anti-itch agent by desensitizing sensory nerves in the skin.
Indications: Earth’s Care Hemorrhoid Relief Cream harnesses the power of two natural active ingredients—Witch Hazel and Menthol —to help relieve pain, alleviate itching as well as cool and protect irritated tissue. This proprietary blend includes other ingredients from nature such as Calendula, Horse Chestnut, Aloe Vera, and Chamomile. This formula is non-greasy and contains no vasoconstrictors, steroids, petrochemicals, parabens, or fragrances.

This product works great. Prescription or over the counter did nothing even with diet change. Found this in a health food and vitamin shop. Again works great.
