In English, it’s not actually called a “wart plant” the way it is in French, although interestingly, it often has “wort” in its name. Chelidonium majus, commonly known as greater celandine or tetterwort, (although tetterwort also refers to Sanguinaria canadensis), nipplewort, or swallowwort, is a herbaceous perennial,native to Europe and western Asia and introduced widely in North America. Its toxic yellow-orange latex is used to get rid of warts – and I’ve tested it on one of my children.
La Grande Chélidoine ou Grande Éclaire (Chelidonium major) est une plante de la famille des Papavéracées et la seule espèce du genre Chelidonium. On l’appelle aussi herbe aux verrues, car son latex jaune-orangé toxique est utilisé pour éliminer les verrues. Ca marche car je l’ai expérimenté sur un de mes enfants.
