Greater celandine (Chelidonium majus L.) for COVID-19: A twenty-case series.

This study describes the use of greater celandine (Chelidonium majus L.) to treat 20 COVID-19 outpatients. The patients were treated with Chelidonium majus 10% mother tincture, and symptoms were assessed during and after treatment. The patients had mild symptoms and complete or almost complete clinical improvement occurred within 1-9 days of treatment. No adverse events were reported. This small study suggests that greater celandine may have potential as a treatment for COVID-19 and may inspire further research in this area.
