Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

California Peony (Paeonia californica) is a plant native to California, but it is not widely used in modern herbal medicine. The more commonly referenced peony species in traditional herbal systems, particularly Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is Paeonia lactiflora (white peony root), which has a history of use for various female reproductive system concerns such as menstrual irregularities, dysmenorrhea, and menopausal symptoms. However, there is little documentation indicating that Paeonia californica specifically has a longstanding tradition of use for supporting the female reproductive system. The association may be extrapolated from the general use of peony species in traditional medicine.

There is minimal scientific research on California peony itself regarding its effects on the female reproductive system. Most available evidence and traditional use concern other peony species. Therefore, while there is some traditional precedent for related species, the specific use of California peony for female reproductive health is not well-supported by either robust traditional use or scientific validation.

In summary, the use of California peony to support the female reproductive system is based primarily on traditional practices relating to other peony species, and the evidence supporting its efficacy is weak.
