Greater Celandine Herb Seeds (Chelidonium majus)
Greater Celandine (Chelidonium majus), known in Russian as “Чистотел” (Chistotel), is a self-seeding annual herb that grows 2–4 feet tall and produces clusters of small, bright yellow flowers from May to September. Though technically annual, it readily reseeds itself, returning year after year with minimal care.
Traditional & Medicinal Uses
Greater Celandine is a powerful traditional herb, long valued for its cleansing and healing properties. When the stem is gently broken, it releases a vivid yellow sap — a natural extract traditionally used to treat skin conditions such as warts, acne, and slow-healing wounds.
In herbal medicine, Chelidonium is also known for its anesthetic, antibacterial, antifungal, and detoxifying effects.
