White Peony Root

White peony, also known as bai shao, is a flowering plant and its root has been used in ancient Chinese medicine for over 1000 years. It contains phytoestrogens, which are compounds that are thought to have estrogen-like effects on the body. Additionally, white peony contains paeoniflorin, a compound thought to have anti-cancer and antioxidant properties. White peony root may be used to help balance estrogen levels, reduce symptoms related to menopause, treat infertility, reduce blood sugar levels and manage diabetes, decrease inflammation and pain, treat anxiety and depression, improve blood flow, reduce symptoms associated with arthritis, support joints, brighten the skin and decrease hyperpigmentation, increase probiotics in the gut, improve digestion, and decrease symptoms associated with heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
