Peony is the root of Paeonia lactiflora, also known as Paeonia lactiflora. Paeonia lactiflora has been used as medicine for a long time, which is recorded in Shennong's herbal classics. Later, it was divided into Bai Mudan and Red Peony. In general, Paeonia lactiflora is derived from cultivated varieties, while Paeonia lactiflora is mostly wild varieties. Although they belong to the same category, they have different functions.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Paeonia lactiflora is slightly cold, bitter and sour, and enters the liver and spleen meridians. It has the effects of nourishing blood, softening liver, nourishing blood, regulating menstruation, astringing yin, stopping sweating and relieving pain. Because it enters the liver and spleen meridian, it is a holy medicine for protecting the liver and is suitable for menstrual disorder, dysmenorrhea, metrorrhagia and leukorrhagia caused by liver depression and blood deficiency. Because it can astringe yin and stop sweating, it can treat hyperhidrosis, night sleep, night sweats and other symptoms caused by Yin Ying instability. Modern clinical trials have confirmed that paeoniflorin is the main component of Paeonia lactiflora, which has the functions of spasmolysis, analgesia, anticonvulsant, lowering blood pressure, dilating coronary artery, increasing coronary blood flow, improving microcirculation, antithrombotic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory.
