Red Peony Root (Radix Paeniae Rubra)
Unlike white peony root, red peony root retains the bark of the plant. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Red Peony Root (Chi Shao) falls under the category of ‘Herbs that invigorate the blood‘. This herb can help the circulation of blood in cardiovascular conditions or menstrual irregularities, and to treat acute pains caused by blood stagnation.
