How is greater celandine traditionally used?

Persian medicine considers greater celandine warm and dry, with strong bitter and cleansing (mufattih) action — particularly on the liver and bile ducts. Avicenna and Razi describe it for jaundice, sluggish bile, and 'cold' liver conditions, always in small, measured doses combined with milder protective herbs.
