Paeonia lactiflora (White Peony) Dried Root Slices

Price range: $13.50 through $34.50

Description

Paeonia lactiflora, commonly known as White Peony, is a traditional medicinal plant widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The dried root—often referred to as Bai Shao—has been valued for centuries for its calming, nourishing, and balancing properties.

The root is carefully harvested, sliced, and dried to preserve its beneficial compounds, making it suitable for herbal teas, decoctions, and traditional formulations. It is valued for its ability to support balance within the body, particularly in relation to circulation, hormonal health, and overall vitality.

Traditionally, White Peony root is used to nourish and support the blood, making it a popular herbal ingredient for menstrual health and general wellbeing. It is also known for its ability to help regulate liver energy (Qi), which in traditional practice is associated with emotional balance and the smooth flow of energy throughout the body. This makes it a common choice for easing tension, irritability, and mild discomfort such as muscle cramps and spasms.

The root contains several naturally occurring compounds, most notably paeoniflorin, which has been studied for its anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties. In addition, it provides flavonoids, tannins, and polysaccharides that contribute to its antioxidant activity and potential immune-supportive effects. These compounds work together to give White Peony its broad traditional applications.

 

How to Brew White Peony Tea

Heat water to a boil in a saucepan. Use 2-5 tsp’s for each cup of water. Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Strain and add a sweetener of choice. Serve.

The flavour is mildly bitter with slightly sour undertones, offering a cooling and grounding quality.
