The Chelidonium majus is a plant that has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. Its yellow-orange sap has been used to treat various ailments, including warts, skin irritations, and digestive issues. This digital rendering captures the plant's intricate details, from its delicate leaves to its vibrant flowers.

Chelidonium majus, commonly known as greater celandine, is a herbaceous perennial plant native to Europe and western Asia but now grows worldwide in temperate climates. The name "celandine" comes from the Greek word for swallow because the plant is said to bloom when the swallows arrive, and "greater" is used to distinguish it from an unrelated plant with a similar name. The plant contains several alkaloids like berberine and chelidonine, which have been extensively studied for their pharmacological properties that range from anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects to anticancer activities. However, its main use in herbal medicine is still related to its liver-stimulating effects that improve bile flow and help detoxify the body. Despite being regarded as safe under recommended doses, some potential side-effects of Chelidonium majus include skin irritation and digestive problems if taken in excessive amounts.
