Frequently Asked Questions about Chi Shao Extract
What is Chi Shao, Red Peony (Paeonia lactiflora)?
Chi Shao is the dried root of the red peony, botanically Paeonia lactiflora, a plant of the family Paeoniaceae. In traditional Chinese herbalism it is called Chi Shao and known in English as red peony root. The part used here is the unprocessed ("red") root, and our raw material is sourced in China. You may also see this root labeled "Paeonia rubra," which is a trade name rather than an accepted botanical name; the accepted source is Paeonia lactiflora (and, in some material, the related Paeonia veitchii). The extract is offered in two forms, an alcohol-free glycerite and a traditional alcohol-based tincture. This is a whole-root liquid extract carrying the root's natural spectrum of constituents, not an isolated or standardized single compound, and we label it clearly by botanical name and plant part. Because peony covers several distinct herbs, please read the identity and safety notes below.
What is the difference between the alcohol-free and tincture versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same Paeonia lactiflora red peony root; only the solvent differs. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water, suited to those who avoid alcohol. The tincture uses alcohol as the traditional solvent, together with vegetable glycerin and water. Both deliver the root's constituents in a convenient liquid you take by the drop. Choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol; choose the tincture for a classic alcohol-extracted format with a longer shelf life.
Chi Shao (red) vs Bai Shao (white) vs Mu Dan Pi - which peony is this?
This is Chi Shao, the red peony root, Paeonia lactiflora. Several peony herbs are used and easily confused, so here is the distinction. Chi Shao (ours) is the unprocessed "red" root of Paeonia lactiflora. Bai Shao, or white peony root, comes from the same species, Paeonia lactiflora, but is the processed (peeled and boiled) "white" root - it is treated as a different herb in tradition, and we sell it separately. So Chi Shao and Bai Shao are the same plant prepared two different ways. Mu Dan Pi is different again: it is the root bark of the tree peony, Paeonia suffruticosa - a different species and a different plant part - and is also its own product. Two more notes: "Paeonia rubra" is just a trade name for this red peony root, and this is not the ornamental garden peony grown for its flowers. Our product is specifically the red peony root, Paeonia lactiflora. We label the botanical name and plant part on every page so there is no confusion.
How do I use Chi Shao liquid extract?
Shake well before use. Adults take 20-30 drops (about 1 ml, one full squeeze of the dropper bulb) in 2 oz of water, tea, or juice, up to 3 times daily, or as directed by your practitioner. Drink the entire contents. Do not exceed the suggested serving.
Is Chi Shao extract right for everyone? Safety and storage.
Red peony root is regarded as low in toxicity. A few sensible precautions apply. Do not use this product during pregnancy, and if you are nursing consult your healthcare practitioner before use. Peony root may have a mild effect on blood clotting, so if you take blood-thinning or anti-platelet medication, have a bleeding disorder, or are preparing for surgery, talk with your practitioner first. If you are taking any other medications, consult your doctor before use. It is not intended for young children. Do not exceed the suggested serving, and discontinue use and consult your practitioner if any adverse reaction occurs. Keep out of reach of children. This alcohol-free glycerite should be kept refrigerated after opening. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
