As a wild Chinese medicinal material, red peony root has a very long history of medicinal value, so almost all Chinese medicine practitioners and drug dealers are quite familiar with red peony root. Many friends may only know that red peony root is a traditional Chinese medicine, but they don’t know much about its specific effects. In fact, the effects of red peony root are still very powerful. Below I will introduce to you in detail the effects and functions of red peony root.

However, Cortex Moutan is better in clearing heat and cooling blood, and can not only clear excess heat in the blood, but also treat fever due to yin deficiency; whereas Red Peony Root can only be used for excess heat in the blood, and is good at promoting blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis.
