Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 3

White Peony (Paeonia lactiflora) has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to support women’s reproductive health, particularly the uterus. It is a key ingredient in many TCM formulas, such as Shao Yao Gan Cao Tang, and is believed to "nourish the blood," "regulate menstruation," and help alleviate menstrual discomfort. Historically, it has been used to address irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea (painful periods), and symptoms associated with menopause. Peony root is thought to have antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties, which contribute to its traditional application in uterine health.

While there is a growing body of preclinical and some clinical research suggesting potential benefits of White Peony on reproductive hormone regulation and menstrual health, robust, high-quality scientific evidence directly linking White Peony to improved uterine function in humans remains limited. However, its traditional use is well-documented in classical and modern TCM literature. The rating reflects strong traditional support but only preliminary scientific corroboration.
