DESCRIPTION. A perennial herbaceous plant 30-80 cm high, with a short rhizome and a taproot, branched root. The root is red-brown on the outside, yellow on the inside. The stem is branched, sparsely pubescent. Leaves are alternate; basal and lower stem ones are on long petioles, the upper ones are sessile. The leaf blade is deeply imparipinnate, with large, sinuous lobes; the middle lobe is three-lobed, larger than the others; The leaves are green above, bluish below. The flowers are bright yellow, collected in groups of 3-8 at the ends of the stems in simple umbrella-shaped inflorescences. A calyx of two sepals that usually fall off when the flower opens. The corolla is regular and has 4 obovate petals. There are many stamens, the pistil has a short thick style and a small two-lobed stigma. The fruit is a pod-shaped capsule, opening with two flaps from the base to the apex. The seeds are black, shiny, with a white comb-like appendage. The entire plant contains an orange milky sap. Blooms from May to September; the fruits begin to ripen in June.

RAW MATERIALS. The medicinal raw material is the above-ground part of the plant (Herba Chelidonii), collected during the flowering period. Dried raw materials consist of grass with flowers and fruits, collected at different stages of their development. The leaves are thin, the flowers are bright yellow, four-petaled; fruits are pod-shaped, multi-seeded capsules up to 5 mm long. The smell of the plant is pungent, the taste is bitter and pungent.

DISTRIBUTION AND PROCESSING. Distributed everywhere. It grows in gardens, vegetable gardens, garbage areas, near homes and in pastures as a weed plant.

During the flowering phase, grass is cut at a distance of 5-10 cm from the ground surface. Dry outdoors or in well-ventilated areas.

When working with the plant, with all its parts, it is recommended to wear tarpaulin gloves and a damp gauze bandage on the face to avoid burns from the juice and dust of celandine, which strongly irritate the nasal mucosa. Shelf life - up to 3 years.

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION. All parts of greater celandine contain alkaloids close to opium. They are represented by four groups. Alkaloids of the first group are naphthophenanthredine derivatives: chelidonine, homochelidonine, chelerythrine, methoxychelidonine, oxychelidonine, sanguinarine, oxysanguinarine, chelirubine, helilutin. Alkaloids of the protopine group are represented mainly by allocryptopine. Alkaloids of the diisoquinoline group are represented by berberine, coptisine, sparteine ​​and some poorly studied bases.

The highest content of alkaloids in the grass is observed during the flowering period, when their total is 1.87%. In the roots, the content of alkaloids ranges from 1.90 to 4.14%, vitamins A and C are present. Chelidonine acts like syphorin, inhibiting and then causing paralysis of the central nervous system. Homogelidonin is a convulsive poison, a strong anesthetic, and has a local effect. Sangrinorine has a narcotic effect, stimulates intestinal motility and salivary secretion.

In addition to alkaloids, celandine grass contains carotene, ascorbic acid, organic acids (chelidonic, chelidonic, malic, citric, succinic), saponins and flavonoids. The seeds contain 40-60% fatty oil, and the milky juice contains resinous substances.

APPLICATION. Pharmacological studies have established that preparations of greater celandine have a fungistatic and bacteriostatic effect in relation to the tuberculosis bacillus and cause a delay in the growth of malignant tumors. Therefore, for a long time, fresh plant juice and herbal infusion have been used for a wide variety of skin diseases: for cauterization of warts and condylomas, for the treatment of difficult-to-heal wounds and lupus erythematosus.

In addition, celandine preparations are used internally for diseases of the liver, gall bladder and as a painkiller for stomach ulcers. The pharmacological activity of a number of celandine alkaloids has been studied. Sanguinarine is recommended as an anti-inflammatory agent for stomatitis and gingivitis. The use of celandine herb as an anti-inflammatory agent is allowed. Celandine roots are used in homeopathy.

In folk medicine, celandine milk juice is used as a painkiller for diseases of the liver and gall bladder (gallstones, sand, jaundice), stomach catarrh, diarrhea, and indigestion.

The celandine plant belongs to the poppy family and the dicotyledonous genus.
It is a tall perennial herbaceous shrub with a hollow stem and lyre-shaped dark green leaves. Celandine blooms with yellow flowers, and then in their place small pods ripen, which crack in two and throw out seeds. The plant bears fruit 2-3 times during the summer, so it reproduces effectively and is found almost everywhere. Science knows two types of celandine:

• Chelidonium asiaticum – Asian (30-50 cm tall);
• Chelidonium majus – large (50-120 cm tall).

Both types of plants are poisonous, but have a number of beneficial properties, so they have long been actively used in both Eastern and European folk medicine. The Russian-language name of this herb speaks for itself - it “cleanses the body” of warts, pimples and non-healing wounds. And the Latin name has a beautiful origin story: in the time of Avicenna it was believed that swallows treated the festering and blind eyes of their chicks with the bitter juice of celandine. Hence the term Chelidonium (literally “swallow”). In ancient Rus', celandine had numerous characteristic nicknames: yellow milkweed, podtynnik, warthog, chistukha, dog soap.

Chemical composition of celandine

The leaves, stems, rhizomes and bitter milk of celandine contain:

• Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and carotene (vitamin A);
• Organic acids (malic, citric, succinic);
• Essential oils, bitters, resins and saponins;
• Natural antibiotics (phytoncides);
• Poisonous alkaloids (chelidonine, sanguinarine, protopine, alocryptopine, coptisine).

Chelidonine and its derivatives deserve special attention: oxychelidonine, homochelidonine and methoxychelidonine. This alkaloid is a direct relative of morphine, which is not surprising, since celandine is a relative of poppy. Chelidonine in small doses has an analgesic effect, but in large doses it causes convulsions and paralysis of the nervous system. The highest content of alkaloids is in the rhizomes of celandine (up to 0.5%), however, the leaves of the plant are also poisonous, so livestock on pastures avoid it.

Useful properties of celandine and its use

With proper skill and care, celandine can be used to cure many diseases.

Thanks to its complex and rich biologically active composition, celandine has a multifaceted effect on the human body:

• Anesthetic;
• Antitumor;
• Bactericidal;
• Antifungal;
• Wound healing;
• Antispasmodic;
• Bile and diuretic;
• Expectorant.

Celandine is used to treat diseases:

• Skin

  – psoriasis, scabies, acne, warts and papillomas, mycoses, eczema, burns, wounds and ulcers;

• ENT organs and respiratory system

  – runny nose, bronchitis, tracheitis, laryngitis, sore throat, pneumonia, asthma, whooping cough, tuberculosis;

• Gastrointestinal tract

  – gastritis, stomach ulcer, pancreatitis, cholecystitis, hepatitis, enterocolitis;

• Joints and bones

  – rheumatism, radiculitis, gout, osteochondrosis, arthritis and arthrosis;

• Nervous system

  – headaches, migraines, neuroses;

• Female genital organs

  – vaginitis, colpitis, cervicitis, endometriosis, cervical erosion.

In addition, celandine is used to relieve pain (dental, menstrual, joint) and inhibit the development of malignant tumors. The anti-carcinogenic properties of this poisonous plant are now being actively studied, since it has been found that celandine tincture prevents the appearance of metastases.

In animals, it initially causes a state of depression, and after it comes complete paralysis of the nervous system. An overdose can lead to very severe cramps, so strictly follow the dosage.

Sanguinarine can have a similar effect. Only it is still able to increase the activity of the intestines and increases the secretion of saliva, and can also have a local analgesic effect. As numerous studies have shown, celandine’s most basic properties are antispasmodic, choleretic and anti-inflammatory.

How to prepare juice, tincture and decoction of celandine?

Celandine tincture

The medicine can be purchased in ready-made form, but since celandine grows almost everywhere, it is not worth spending money. Go for the herb in early summer, when the plant first blooms and the leaves are still fresh and fleshy. Wash them thoroughly, chop them finely and fill a liter jar to the top with raw materials, then fill them with 70% medical alcohol and leave in a dark, dry place for 2 weeks. In addition, if you can infuse celandine tincture for 5-6 months, you will receive an even more concentrated and highly effective medicine.

It is better to treat serious diseases, especially cancer, with the help of alcohol tincture, since in ordinary decoctions and water infusions the concentration of alkaloids is an order of magnitude lower. In addition, alcohol tincture can be stored for a long time and consumed economically. By waiting six months, you will receive high-quality and effective medicine with virtually no investment.

You should start treatment with celandine tincture only when the expected benefit is greater than the possible risk. Remember that this is essentially a potent plant poison that you need to gradually get used to. For the first 3-4 weeks, the tincture is taken 5-10 drops per day, and then every week the dosage is increased by 10 drops, and so on up to 50. The duration of treatment depends on the type of disease: for example, for cancer and tuberculosis, celandine tincture is taken for at least six months.

You can prepare celandine tinctures not only alcohol-based, but also water-based:

• Water infusion.

  To prepare a water-based decoction of celandine, you need 1 tablespoon of dry celandine herb and 1 glass of boiling water. The herb should be poured with a glass of boiling water, then covered and left to steep for 30–40 minutes. Next, the infusion must be strained and taken chilled, 2/3 cup 15 minutes before meals. This tincture is used to normalize liver function.

Celandine juice

In folk medicine, there are 2 ways to prepare celandine juice:

• The first method: from fresh, just collected celandine stems up to 15 cm long, along with flowers, it is quite possible to prepare the juice of this herb for the winter. To prepare juice for the winter from celandine raw materials, the leaves must be passed through a meat grinder and then thoroughly squeezed. The resulting juice should be placed in the refrigerator for three days, and then the juice should be strained through cheesecloth, poured into a clean container and covered with a lid that has small holes so that gas does not accumulate in the jar during the fermentation process of the juice. After three weeks, the fermentation process of the juice in the jar will end and the finished celandine juice will be able to stand in the refrigerator until the next “harvest” of the herb.
• Second way Celandine juice can be prepared as follows: you need to carefully cut the grass stems 12–15 cm long along with the flowers, then pass them through a meat grinder and squeeze out the juice, as in the first method. Then you should add alcohol or vodka at the rate of 500 g of vodka or 250 g of alcohol per 1 liter of juice.

  Celandine juice, as has already become clear, is very useful: it can cure approximately 250 skin and other diseases, for example, herpes, burns, pimples, acne, lupus, fungus, fistulas, scabies, peeling, condylomas, polyps, etc.

Celandine decoction

To prepare a decoction of celandine, you need fresh or pre-dried raw materials (sold in a pharmacy).

Pour 1 teaspoon of dry raw material with a glass of boiling water, let it brew for 15 minutes, then strain. The decoction is good for diseases of the liver, gall bladder, duodenum, as well as for diseases of the bladder. Take 1/3 cup 3 times a day. The course of treatment is 5-7 days.

Treatment with celandine

Celandine is successfully used to combat initial forms of skin tuberculosis, true adenomatous polyps of the large intestine, cervical erosion, intestinal and laryngeal papillomatosis. Also, eczema, lichen and acne respond very well to treatment with celandine; in addition, celandine promotes the healing of purulent ulcers and wounds.

In homeopathy, celandine is very often used for liver diseases that are difficult to diagnose and recognize, and they have the following symptoms: poor health in damp weather, while in a warm room it suddenly becomes better, the appearance of a sharp feeling of disgust for cold drinks and meat , craving for hot coffee. In rare cases, homeopaths themselves prescribe celandine for diseases such as pneumonia, pleurisy, gout, headaches accompanied by dizziness and general weakness, stomach and liver cancer.

Celandine for skin diseases

Psoriasis

If the lesion is small, it should be lubricated with freshly squeezed celandine milk in the morning and evening for 10-14 days.

If psoriasis has affected large areas of the skin, take baths for the same period: for every 3 liters of boiling water, take 25 grams of chopped herbs, brew and wait until the infusion cools to a comfortable temperature.

The most powerful remedy for psoriasis is a decoction of celandine roots. They are first kept in hot water for 2 hours until softened, and then boiled for half an hour, cooled, filtered and made into lotions from sterile gauze for 2-3 hours.

Warts and papillomas

These unsightly blemishes appear on the skin under the influence of the human papillomavirus. You can cauterize and remove a wart using fresh celandine juice, as our ancestors did in ancient times. The skin around the papilloma or wart is protected with baby cream, and juice is applied to the neoplasm itself every 2-3 hours every day until the wart is completely dry and the surface is healed.

Fresh celandine juice mixed in equal parts with alcohol tincture of propolis, which can be purchased at a pharmacy, also helps. The method of application is similar.

Local treatment of papillomas and warts with celandine is best combined with a decoction or infusion:

• Alcohol infusion

In the morning and evening, wipe your face with a cotton pad soaked in lotion for at least 10 minutes in a row.

Also a good recipe for dry skin is celandine ointment. You can make it yourself from cosmetic Vaseline and freshly squeezed plant juice in proportions of 5/1. Store the ointment in the refrigerator and lubricate the face at night for at least two weeks in a row.

An alcohol lotion is used to treat acne on oily skin. To prepare it, take the juice of one cucumber, 100 ml of alcohol and 50 ml of freshly squeezed celandine juice. All components are mixed and left in the refrigerator for 10 days, and then rubbed with this lotion on oily skin in the mornings and evenings.

For any skin type, it is important to treat acne and blackheads with celandine using cosmetic masks. They need to be done 2-3 times a week. Take the yolk of one egg, a teaspoon of celandine juice and a teaspoon of olive oil, mix everything and apply to your face for 10-15 minutes.

Eczema (lichen)

Take 20 g of dry crushed celandine herb raw material, pour it into an enamel bowl, pour in a glass of water (boiling water), then cover everything with a lid and heat it in a water bath for about 15 minutes, then cool it at room temperature for 45 minutes. Next, the broth should be filtered and poured into a glass container with a good stopper. The shelf life of the decoction is no more than two days.

Instructions for using celandine in folk medicine:

Contraindications for treatment with celandine
Celandine is a poisonous plant! It’s not for nothing that livestock on pastures never chew celandine. Celandine contains chelidonin, which can initially cause a depressed state in animals, after which complete paralysis of the entire nervous system of the animal occurs. This substance is very similar in action to morphine. It is for this reason that when using this plant, you must be extremely careful or use it in small quantities along with other herbs.

Celandine can cause severe irritation and inflammation of the entire digestive tract, and can also lower blood pressure. In case of overdose or poisoning with celandine, the following symptoms are observed: severe thirst, heaviness of the head, stomach, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, possible dizziness, in rare cases even loss of consciousness or hallucinations. This happens for the reason that celandine juice contains a fairly large amount of alkaloids.

Since celandine is poisonous, it should not be taken by small children and pregnant women, even if there is good reason to do so. The underdeveloped protective functions of a child’s body will not allow him to quickly cope with intoxication. And, getting into the blood of the expectant mother, celandine alkaloids can poison the fetus and cause the effect of short-term oxygen starvation.

In case of poisoning. If celandine poisoning does occur, you should immediately stop taking it, rinse your stomach thoroughly, and then you should still consult a doctor.

For epilepsy. People suffering from epilepsy should not take celandine, as it has the ability to cause seizures. People suffering from severe mental disorders, especially those with psychosis, should not use celandine.

For other diseases. Contraindications for the use of celandine include bronchial asthma, angina pectoris, cardiac decompensation of degrees I and II, as well as various neurological diseases. You should not use celandine juice if there is a possibility of it getting into areas of the skin where there is damage, as it will cause a severe inflammatory process.

Intestinal problems. When celandine is used internally, constipation or dysbacteriosis may occur. This can happen because celandine juice can cause disruption of the intestinal microflora. To get rid of this, you can use the good old recipe: heat the milk so that it is warm, dissolve a piece of butter in it and do an enema. Calculation of proportions – 300 ml of milk per 30 g of butter. When doing a milk or butter enema, it is best to lie with your head slightly below your pelvis. It is quite enough to do an enema of milk and butter 1-2 times a day for two or maybe even five weeks, it’s easier to say how long it takes to get rid of this problem.

People with hypotension

Celandine is contraindicated because it further reduces blood pressure. But for hypertensive patients, such a remedy is just right. Easily excitable people suffering from insomnia, and, even more so, serious diseases of the central nervous system and psyche, celandine is not recommended, because it can cause anxiety, convulsions and even clouding of consciousness in case of an overdose.

Cases of individual intolerance to celandine are rare, but if you are allergic to it, you will notice it at first contact. When using medicinal herbs, you should always listen to your feelings - the body itself will tell you that this plant is not suitable for it. Severe itching, redness and especially swelling upon skin contact with celandine indicate the danger of further use.

In the end, let us return once again to the question of the advisability of treatment with celandine. As we have already said, it is advisable to decide to use a known poisonous plant only when the benefits of its use certainly outweigh the harm. This means that you need to be treated with celandine for serious reasons, and not just for prevention or experiment. Take care of yourself and be healthy!
