A BIT OF HISTORY and CURIOSITY

Dioscorides (40-90 AD), famous doctor, botanist and pharmacist who practiced in Rome at the time of Nero, called the plant from the Greek word chelidon = swallow, because celandine flourishes in the migratory period of the swallows.
The alchemists used celandine in the search for the philosopher's stone and gave it the name of coeli donum, gift from heaven. Paracelsus considered it a bloody herb, that is, suitable for treating circulatory disorders and a yellow herb for treating jaundice and other liver diseases.
Messeguè called it "swallow grass" observing a swallow with a drop of latex in its beak that carried it to the swallows to protect them from blindness.

CONTRAINDICATIONS.

Contraindicated in subjects with liver problems or stones, children and pregnant women. Celandine is a toxic plant for internal use. Internal intake requires medical advice.
