Red peony root, also known as Radix Paeoniae Rubra, has a long history of traditional use in Chinese medicine. It is believed to have a range of health benefits due to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic and neuroprotective properties.
Red peony root contains bioactive compounds such as paeoniflorin and albiflorin which have been shown to improve blood circulation, relieve pain and reduce inflammation in the body. Additionally, it may also help treat conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, menstrual cramps and liver disease due to its ability to inhibit pro-inflammatory pathways within the body.
Research suggests that red peony root may support cognitive function by protecting against oxidative stress damage in the brain, ultimately enhancing memory retention and learning capacity.
