Currently, even staunch supporters official medicine recognize the undoubted effectiveness of treating a number of diseases with herbal remedies based on Celandine.

Latin name species – Chelidonium (“swallow”), since in ancient times there was an opinion that birds used the juice of the grass to treat the eyes of their chicks. The ancient Greek healer Thiophos called it “herb for a hundred ailments”; this student of Aristotle left behind the first detailed description Celandine and instructions for its use.

In Rus', the plant has been used for many centuries to treat difficult-to-heal and festering wounds, as well as to reduce warts; it was called gladishnik, chistukha, chistoplot, warthog and dog soap. The nickname “swallow grass” has also stuck with us.

According to botanical classification, it is a perennial herbaceous plant belongs to the Poppy family of the Dicotyledonous genus. It has lyre-shaped leaves and bright yellow flowers. The height of the Asian Celandine bush is 30-50 cm, and the Great Celandine bush is up to 1 meter or more. The herbaceous shrub bears fruit up to three times during the summer season; In place of the flowers, small pods with seeds ripen. Its habitat is very wide; The plant is found almost everywhere in our country.

As a rule, the above-ground part of the bush is used as a medicinal raw material, but there are folk recipes that also involve the use of roots. Collection and harvesting is carried out during the flowering period. It is recommended to dry the collected herbs in protected from the sun and well-ventilated areas. The dried substrate for the preparation of medicines can be stored for 3 years.

• phytoncides (natural antibacterial compounds);
• organic acids;
• bitterness,
• vitamins (mainly A and C);
• saponins;
• alkaloids (alocryptopine, sanguinarine, protopine, chelidonine and coptisine).

This is a perennial herbaceous plant with a multi-headed short rhizome and a tap root, red-brown on the outside and yellow on the inside.

Greater celandine plants have a straight, branched stem 50-100 cm high, at the break releasing drops of thick milky sap, which immediately turns orange-red in air. If, when picking this plant, its juice gets on your hands, it stains them yellow, and after a while the stain turns brown and resembles the trace left by iodine. This juice is bitter, burning, with an unpleasant, although faint, odor. On the skin it causes a burning sensation and even blisters. The entire plant is poisonous and is not eaten by livestock.

Celandine does not have nectaries, but attracts insects with an abundance of pollen. By eating it, insects fly from flower to flower and promote cross-pollination.

The flower protects its pollen reserves from bad weather, and when the sky begins to frown, foreshadowing rain, the petals move closer and cover the stamens. In the sun, the flower opens again, hospitably inviting insects.
