CREAM FOR CORN PREPARED WITH GREATER CELANDINE
Greater celandine (Chelidonium majus) is a plant from Papaveraceae family. This is a family whose members usually contain much latex, that can be found in the juice of the plant.
The latex of the plant is a caustic substance, used to sear warts and soften calluses.
The sap or juice of celandine, which is characteristically yellow or orange, specially contains chelidonic and nicotinic acids, which prevent the development of skin tissue (warts or calluses) and have antiseptic effects of the skin.
Indeed, celandine prevents growth of calli and latex burns thickened tissue to soften the skin. This plant is a traditional remedy for corns.
