Culpepper's remedy for using Greater Celandine, “
The herb or root boiled in white wine and drank, a few Aniseeds being boiled
therewith, opens obstructions of the liver and gall..”, was updated
in Ms Grieves 1931 volume, (see reference below), along with the celandine boiled
in milk remedy as a cure for cataracts. The, orange, acrid juice of the fresh
herb is a traditional remedy for warts and ringworm, but should be used caution,
on small areas of the skin as it is caustic. Celandine share the constituent
sanguinarine
with bloodroot ,and like that herb is often
mentioned as an herbal treatment for cancer, though there doesn't seem to be
modern
studies supporting that use.
As with most herbal medicines, the root
has a much higher concentration of active chemicals than the ariel parts, which
are most often used as a powder in capsules or tinctured to make extracts.

 Celandine grows all over Germany and France, in waste places, on old walls, along roadways, and about dwellings ; it is pretty well naturalized in the United States, but so far it is not found at any great distance from dwellings, flowering from early in May until October. A fine gamboge-yellow, acrid juice, pervades the plant, root, stem and leaves ; this fact led those who practised upon the doctrine of signatures, to employ the drug in hepatic disorders, from its resemblance to bile in color. It proved one of the hits of that practice. The U. S. Ph. still mentions Chelidonium, but not officinally; it will probably be thrown aside at the next revision as worthless, totidem verbis.

 This is an herb of the Sun, and under the Celestial Lion, and is one of the best cures for the eyes; for, all that know any thing in astrology, know that the eyes are subject to the luminaries; let it then be gathered when the Sun is in Leo, and the Moon in Aries, applying to this time; let Leo arise, then may you make into an oil or ointment, which you please, to anoint your sore eyes with. I can prove it doth both my own experience, and the experience of those to whom I have taught it, that most desperate sore eyes have been cured by this only medicine; and then, I pray, is not this far better than endangering the eyes by the art of the needle? For if this does not absolutely take away the film, it will so facilitate the work, that it might be done without danger. The herb or root boiled in white wine and drank, a few Aniseeds being boiled therewith, opens obstructions of the liver and gall, helps the yellow jaundice; and often using it, helps the dropsy and the itch, and those who have old sores in their legs, or other parts of the body. The juice thereof taken fasting, is held to be of singularly good use against the pestilence. Nicholas Culpeper |
