BUTCHER'S BROOM AND HOUSE LEEK
Butcher's broom is used for hemorrhoids, gallstones, hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), and for
symptoms of poor blood circulation such as pain, heaviness, leg cramps, leg swelling, varicose veins,
itching, and swelling. Butcher's broom is also used as a laxative, as a diuretic to increase urine output, to
reduce swelling, and to speed the healing of fractures.
Medicinal use of Houseleek: Houseleek leaves and their juice are used for their cooling and astringent
effect, being applied externally to soothe many skin conditions. As with many other remedies that are both
astringent and soothing, houseleek simultaneously tightens and softens the skin. The fresh leaves are
astringent, diuretic, odontalgic, refrigerant and vulnerary. They are used as a poultice in much the same
way as Aloe vera in the treatment of a wide range of skin diseases, burns, scalds, bites and stings etc and
have also been used to get rid of warts and corns. The plant is also sometimes used internally in the
treatment of shingles, skin complaints and haemorrhoids, though some care is required since in excess the
plant is emetic and purgative. The leaves are harvested as required and used fresh.
