Several years ago, my husband began suffering from nasal polyps. These small, benign growths inside his nasal passages began to affect his breathing and overall health. At the time, we decided to opt for surgery. The operation was successful, and for a while, he found relief. However, as time passed, the polyps began to grow back.
Given his age, we were hesitant to go through another surgical intervention. Surgery can be risky for elderly individuals, and recovery time is often longer and more complicated. That’s when we turned to a powerful natural remedy — celandine juice. To our surprise and relief, the polyps disappeared completely within 10 to 12 days of starting the treatment. It was truly remarkable.
Celandine, known in botanical terms as Chelidonium majus, is a wild herb found in many parts of Europe and Asia. Traditionally, it has been used to treat a wide variety of ailments due to its strong antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Here is exactly how we prepared the juice:
- First, we carefully removed the whole celandine plant from the ground — roots and all.
- We thoroughly cleaned the plant to remove any soil and debris.
- Then we washed it with clean water to make sure there were no contaminants.
- Next, we passed the entire plant, including the roots, through a meat grinder to crush it completely.
- After grinding, we took the pulp and strained it through a double layer of cheesecloth to extract the juice.
- We poured the juice into a small bottle with a tight-fitting lid and left it in a dark, cool place.
After five full days, the juice began to ferment. This fermentation process is natural and essential, as it activates some of the plant’s medicinal compounds. During this time, it’s important to periodically release the gas that forms in the bottle by slightly opening the cap to avoid pressure buildup.
Once the fermentation process begins, the juice can be stored for years if kept in a cool, dark place. This preparation method ensures the juice remains potent and effective for a long time.
How to Use the Celandine Juice
To treat nasal polyps, sinusitis (also known as maxillary sinus inflammation), or tonsillitis, apply the juice as follows:
- Using a dropper, place 2–3 drops of the fermented celandine juice into each nostril three times a day.
- After applying the drops, lie down for a few minutes so the liquid has time to be absorbed into the tissues of your nasal cavity and throat.
- This position also helps prevent the juice from dripping out of your nose.
- Ideally, you should also swallow a small amount of the juice, as it has systemic healing effects.
What Does It Treat?
This powerful remedy is not limited to nasal polyps. Celandine juice is known to effectively treat:
- Adenoids – enlarged lymphatic tissue behind the nose that can cause breathing and hearing issues, especially in children.
- Nasal polyps – soft, non-cancerous growths in the lining of the nasal passages or sinuses.
- Sinusitis (Haymoritis) – inflammation or infection of the sinuses that causes congestion, pressure, and facial pain.
- Tonsillitis – inflammation of the tonsils, often accompanied by sore throat and fever.
Many people also report improved overall health when using celandine tincture regularly. It’s a general health tonic as well, supporting the immune system and detoxifying the body.
Additionally, this juice can be beneficial for oral health. If you suffer from gum disease, apply a small amount of the juice directly to the gums. Its antibacterial properties help reduce inflammation and promote healing of infected tissue.
Important Tips
- The best time to prepare celandine juice is in May, when the plant is in full bloom and its medicinal properties are at their peak.
- Do not skip the fermentation step. It’s crucial for activating the healing compounds.
- Always follow the preparation and usage instructions carefully. Natural remedies are powerful, but they must be used correctly to avoid irritation or adverse reactions.
- Store the juice in a dark glass bottle if possible, and keep it away from light and heat.
We were truly amazed by the results. Not only did the polyps disappear, but my husband also noticed improvements in his breathing, sleep quality, and overall energy levels. We recommend this remedy to anyone suffering from similar conditions. It’s natural, effective, and easy to prepare at home. Just be sure to follow the steps closely and consult with a healthcare provider if you have any doubts, especially if you’re on medication or have other health conditions.
Give it a try — you might be surprised by how well it works!
