Cursed Buttercup Overview

Ranunculus sceleratus, commonly known as "Cursed Buttercup" or "Celery-leaved Buttercup," is a plant species found in wetland areas across parts of North America and Eurasia. While it has historical use in traditional medicine for various purposes, it is important to note that some species within the Ranunculus genus contain toxic compounds, and this particular species, in particular, is known to cause skin irritation and blistering if handled. As such, it is not recommended for use as a dietary supplement or herbal remedy due to its potential toxicity. Always exercise caution and seek professional advice before using any plant for medicinal purposes.
