How to Harvest Celandine
Greater celandine (Chelidonium majus) can be harvested from the beginning of May, or the end of April, when it starts to bloom, until the end of November. Only harvest it when it has buds or flowers, and not when it already has seed pods. Harvesting is done in sunny weather, as harvesting on rainy days or after rain turns the plant brown, which lessens its active principles. To avoid staining your hands, wear a pair of gloves when cutting the aerial parts (leaves, stems, and flowers) of the celandine. Do not touch your eyes, mouth, or other sensitive areas, with your hands, as celandine may be very irritating.
Fresh celandine leaves an orange sap (latex), which has very important medicinal properties, especially for skin problems such as warts. You can learn how to use fresh celandine for warts here. Now that you know when and how to harvest fresh celandine, let’s see how to make celandine syrup, a delicious and healing recipe.
How to Make Celandine Syrup at Home
For this old celandine syrup recipe you need only two natural ingredients, namely:
- 100 g fresh celandine plant
- 300 g raw honey
Wash the celandine plant and put it in an enameled pot, then pour 1 liter (4 cups) of boiling water over it. Let the celandine steep for 12 hours or overnight. Strain the infusion, and dissolve the honey in it. Now your celandine syrup is ready. Pour it into a glass bottle and store it in the refrigerator.
How to Use Celandine Syrup for Blood Detox
Every day pour 150 g of celandine syrup from the large bottle into a smaller one, and have one tablespoon, six times a day, one hour apart (ideally from morning to lunch). Continue until you finish the entire celandine syrup quantity. You can only follow this blood detox remedy once every year, as celandine is very potent.
Celandine Side Effects
Since ancient times, healers have known that celandine can be a toxic plant when used incorrectly. Thus, it is used only in small quantities, for a short period of time, and best combined with other herbs. Celandine overdose can cause vomiting, nausea, muscle cramps, sudden drop in blood pressure with bradycardia (rare pulse), and central nervous system problems. First aid consists of stomach washing and drinking lots of water. We recommend that you only use celandine preparations under the supervision of an experienced herbal doctor.
