Burns & bites- Burn jelly plant

 Burns & bites- burn jelly plant ( Bulbine frutescens) which is also a succulent & produces many more leaves which are easier to use.

How to grow-  plant in a container using soil based potting compost mixed with an equal amount of sharp horticultural grit or perlite.

Recipe- to treat burns, simply cut off a bit of leaf & rub the glutinous gel straight on to the skin, reapplying if the burn becomes uncomfortable. The wound then heals without blistering. This gel can also be used to cool the itching caused by insect bites & allergies.
