Description
Peony root is an important blood tonic used to relax muscle and cleanse the blood.
It is one of the most highly prized women’s herbs used traditionally to help regulate the female hormonal cycle and to tonify and purify the blood. It is also used as a pain reducing agent and as an emotional stabilizer by women. It is said to help relieve cramps and spasms anywhere in the body. In particular, it is considered to be highly effective in relieving menstrual cramps.
Peony root is also believed to extend life and to promote beauty. An old Chinese saying states that “a woman who consumes Peony root regularly becomes as beautiful as the Peony flower itself.”
Modern science now recognizes that a bioactive component in peony extract called paeoniflorin have been shown to help maintain the balanced responsiveness, sensitivity, and strength of a properly – modulated immune response. Through a host of subtle mechanisms, White Peony Root Extract promotes immune homeostasis – optimal immune health – by limiting production of inflammatory molecules and naturally balancing inflammation – suppressing cells and pro-inflammatory cells.
A host of human clinical trials have demonstrated that the compounds in White Peony Root Extract promote a healthy and balanced inflammatory response.
