Do you know what a single leaf from this plant can do? Even Aloe Vera pales in comparison to this rock plant!
Known as the rock rose or houseleek, this plant is now often used to decorate rock gardens. But in the past, it was even grown on rooftops. People believed it could shield homes from lightning and fires, largely thanks to its thick, fleshy leaves.
What most don’t realize is that this plant has even greater healing properties than the renowned Aloe Vera.
Perfect for the balcony or kitchen
This plant is not only medicinal but also edible. Every leaf is packed with beneficial compounds.
Wash and chop it to add a pleasant, tangy flavor to salads.
The young shoots and leaves are even eaten raw in the Netherlands as a delicacy.
A natural remedy for your skin
Unlike Aloe Vera, which can sometimes cause allergic reactions, this plant is generally gentler.
The gel from its leaves soothes minor wounds, scrapes, bug bites, skin irritations, burns, canker sores, and even warts.
Just snap a leaf and apply the pulp to the affected area.
For bruises, swelling, or cracked heels, crush the leaf and apply directly.
Repeat the process a few times for best results.
