Mother of millions not only inspires wonder and fascination because its little plantlets are so easy to break off and grow into entirely new plants, but it also makes a very nice soothing external anti-inflammatory and vulnerary akin to aloe vera.  Crush up a leaf to get the slimy juice and use it on irritated skin, burns, or swollen bumps and bruises.  It’s not edible, however, because it has toxic constituents that are poisonous for internal use.

Some botanists classify mother of millions into the genus Kalanchoe rather than into Bryophyllum.
