Greater Celandine is a dried bitter herb from Chelidonium majus, traditionally used in small, measured amounts in European herbal practice. It is most often associated with short-term digestive, biliary and bitter-tonic style preparations under practitioner guidance. The cut herb can be prepared as a carefully measured infusion or tincture-style extract, and is also used externally in simple rinses for minor skin-focused routines on intact skin. Due to its potency and alkaloid content, this is best suited to experienced herbal users rather than casual everyday tea use.
♡ Why we love it: Greater celandine has a strong heritage bitter profile that makes it useful in very focused herbal routines. We value it as a specialist herb for careful, short-term preparation where professional guidance and conservative use are prioritised.
