Wild celandine grows in Central Asia, the Caucasus and the European part of Russia. As a medicinal plant, celandine leaves are taken to a greater extent. They contain chaleritin, sanguinarine, flavonoids, organic acids and many other elements, including vitamin A, ascorbic acid, essential oils. The benefits to the human body are very great, but the main application is the use as a choleretic, spasmolytic and anti-inflammatory agent.
