Mountain Peony | Blood Nourishment & Women’s Hormonal Balance
The Remedy:
Mountain Peony (Paeonia mascula / Paeonia officinalis)—also known as Wild Peony, Peonía Silvestre, European Peony, and Male Peony—is a traditional root used for blood nourishment, hormonal balance, muscle relaxation, and menstrual comfort. Rich in paeoniflorin, tannins, antioxidants, and soothing compounds, Mountain Peony helps calm the nervous system, ease spasms, and support smooth, healthy reproductive function.
Commonly used to ease PMS symptoms, menstrual cramps, irregular cycles, pelvic tension, inflammation, and emotional irritability, Mountain Peony also supports liver harmony and promotes healthy blood flow. Its cooling, harmonizing nature makes it ideal for balancing heat and stagnant energy in the reproductive system.
Enjoyed as a tea, decoction, capsule, or tincture, Mountain Peony provides grounding wellness for both women’s health and overall calm.
