Traditional Uses of Tree Poeny Bark.

Tree Peony Bark Extract INCI Name Paeonia Suffruticosa Extract CAS 223747-88-4 Cortex Moutan Tree Peony Root-bark Extract photo picture image In Chinese medicine, the root of the red peony is thought to cool the blood, move stagnating blood, and relieve pain.

 Experiments in London, using the tree peony root bark (P. suffruticosa) with other Chinese herbs, successfully treated childhood eczema. It is used to cool the blood, as well as being a good antibacterial for boils and abscesses.

 The root of the white peony has a more specific action than the red, soothing liver energy and improving its function. It is also seen as nourishing the blood rather than cooling it, and is considered to be one of the great tonics for women, often used in menstrual disorders.

 Although rarely used in contemporary European herbal medicine, the peony is thought to be an antispasmodic and sedative used in cases of whooping cough and nervous irritation.
 Suppositories can be made from the root to relieve anal and intestinal spasms.
