NuVena Herbs – Greater Celandine 1kg

Greater celandine is a powerful herb that must be used with care due to its potent active compounds.

One of its most valuable ingredients is the alkaloid chelidonine, known for its wide-ranging therapeutic properties. Scientific studies on mice have demonstrated that isolated chelidonine can effectively treat respiratory inflammation by significantly reducing elevated eosinophil levels and pro-inflammatory interleukins. In addition, chelidonine has shown promising anti-cancer effects, with research in humans indicating its potential to help prevent cancer recurrence.

Chelidonine also has immunostimulating effects and has been used in the treatment of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and hepatitis C.
Greater celandine supports the digestive system by stimulating bile production and regulating its function. It is also appreciated for its antiparasitic properties.

Beyond internal use, greater celandine is valued for its calming and sleep-inducing effects, its ability to reduce smooth muscle tension, lower blood pressure, and slow the heart rate.

Applied externally, it has a keratolytic effect—meaning it helps remove dead skin cells—and has long been used as a traditional remedy for warts, psoriasis, and verrucae in humans. In horses, it is commonly used for warts and sarcoids.
