Can you use witch hazel if epileptic?

No problem: As long as you use on skin surfaces and do NOT ingest it orally, no potential issue.

Yes: I am curious as to why you ask. I did a literature search and see comment associating witch hazel with epilepsy only on chat sites. No scientific proof.

Witch hazel: Yes you can. Also, let your doctor know of any supplements added on to your prescribed medications, to make sure no adverse interactions occur.
