Greater celandine is a member of the poppy family, completely unrelated to the lesser celandine or pilewort, which belongs to the buttercup group. It is notable for its brilliantly colored sap which makes an ideal remedy for clearing warts: simply apply a little each morning, taking care not to get too much of the juice on surrounding areas as it can be corrosive.
Internally, Celandine is used as a liver remedy, cleansing the gall bladder and stimulating bile flow in hepatitis and jaundice. Celandine is also a diuretic and can be used as a cleansing remedy for skin conditions where liver stagnation is a contributing factor.
In the UK, the use of greater celandine is restricted to professional practitioners only, however, since the maximum dosage given in the legislation (200 ml of tincture per week) is at least three times what would normally be prescribed, it can be considered as safe and side-effect free in normal dosages.
An old name for Celandine is "swallow wort", which dates from an ancient Greek tradition, repeated by herbalists as recently as the 17th century, that swallows fed the seeds to their young to improve their eyesight. It is true that Celandine was widely recommended in the 17th century for eye complaints.
