Chelidonium Majus

Celandine. Papaveracese.

"A perennial plant with a sharp, bitter and burning taste, yielding when pressed, a yellow, corrosive, milky juice; it grows in hedges and waste places, among stones and rubbish."

Tincture from the fresh root, or of the whole plant.

This remedy, famous in antiquity, preserved its repute through the Middle Ages. It was administered in serious complaints, particularly in hepatic derange- ment, according to the law of signatura, the yellow juice of the plant against the yellow bile and jaundiced look. It was proved by Hahnemann and later more extensively by O. Buchmann, of Alvensleben (Vide Encyclopaedia, v. 3). Its place in the Materia Medica is well defined by numerous clinical reports, verify- ing the provings.

Most symptoms marked ^ are pathogenetic observations by Berridge.
