Natural Plant Extract Chelidonium Majus Extract Powder Greater Celandine Extract

Chelidonium majus, commonly known as Greater Celandine or Tetterwort, is a plant in the popp family (Papaveraceae). It has a long history of use in traditional European and Chinese medicine. Its bright orange-yellow latex (sap) is a distinctive feature and contains most of its active compounds.

Primary Traditional and Historical Uses
Traditionally, the latex was applied topically and the extract was taken internally for:

Liver and Gallbladder Disorders: Its most classic use was as a "liver tonic" to stimulate bile production (cholagogue), treat jaundice, and support gallbladder function and detoxification.

Topical Applications: The caustic latex was directly applied to the skin to burn off warts, corns, and calluses. It was also used for other skin conditions like eczema.

Gastrointestinal Issues: Used for stomach cramps, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and as a digestive stimulant.
