Honey and Houseleek as a Natural Remedy for Myoma and Ovarian Cysts!
The Latin name for houseleek is Semprevivum tectorum which means “the ever-living” suggesting that this plant is indestructible no matter what the conditions that surround it are. It is believed that where it grows and multiplies the houseleek transfers its irrepressible energy to that house.
Houseleek is a perennial herb, high between 5 – 25 inches. It has thick juicy leaves arranged in a rosette. It is watered seldom like a cactus. If houseleek is planted somewhere in the garden it doesn’t need watering. It blooms from July to October, and this is the period during which you can collect its leaves for teas and other preparations.
