Safety Issues
Numerous case reports indicate that use of celandine can lead to severe, potentially fatal liver injury. 1 2 3 4 It should be noted that most people who use greater celandine do not develop liver problems. It may be that certain individuals have an especially high level of susceptibility. However, since it is not possible to determine in advance who would be at risk, we recommend that until more is known the internal use of greater celandine should be avoided entirely.
