How it heals
In Chinese Medicine, Moutan Cortex clears heat, dispels stasis, and cools and invigorates the blood. It also drains pus and reduces swelling, bringing the body to a more balanced, pain-free state.
In Western medicine, Moutan Cortex is great for preventing blood clots, lowering blood pressure, regulating heart rhythm, and reducing fevers. It also helps with infertility, seizures, and general body pain.
Fun Fact:The Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) named the tree peony (the flower of this root) as China’s national flower. (Today, the Chinese plum tree is the national flower of China.)
