Gall oak: Gall oak trees are robust small trees commonly found in the Mediterranean basin, Asia and Asia Minor (Syria, Iran, Lebanon). Galls are globular outgrowths forming on the leaves of certain plants following insect stings. The gall is the nest of the larvae, enabling them to develop. They are referred to as ‘gallnuts’, reflecting their nut-like shape. Gallnuts have been known and harvested since ancient times for their medicinal and tinctorial properties.
Witch Hazel: In both American and European traditional medicine, Witch Hazel is used to cure lesions of the skin, mucous tissues, and capillaries. Its leaves are used internally as a tonic and astringent. The bark and leaves of Witch Hazel are used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, to cure eye infections, and to soothe itches due to insect stings and bites. It is also renowned for working wonders against rosacea and congestive flushes of the face.
