CURE EVERY SKIN CONDITION WITH THIS PLANT

(The effects and use of common houseleek)

Sempervivum tectorum (or common houseleek) is an evergreen plant that is used in traditional medicine for its cooling and astringent effect. Houseleek can grow on most types of soil and can even be seen in rocky, barren and dry areas.

The plant contains malic acid, formic acid, tannins and calcium malate as well as small amounts of resin. These compounds are thought to give houseleek certain medicinal properties including anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and diuretic abilities.

When applied to the skin the plant has a very similar effect as Aloe Vera. It is very safe for use for every skin type and very simple. Just take a few leaves from the plant peel them and mash them together and apply them to the skin affected skin area. 
You can also just take one leaf break it and apply the juice from the plant on your skin.

Here are some skin conditions that you can treat with this plant:

- Ulcers in the mouth
- Burns
- Skin ulcers
- Warts
- Itchy, burning skin and swelling from insect bites
- Wounds
- Dry skin

Houseleek is also use to treat ear infections (just a few drops of the plan`s juices in the ear can be very helpful). You can also use it orally (just eat one leaf daily, or use it in combination with honey) to treat diarrhea, hemorrhoids, urinary tract infections, cramps and bloating, constipations.
