Bai Shao Yao Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Bai Shao Yao (Paeonia lactiflora), the Chinese or common garden peony, is a herbaceous perennial of the peony family, Paeoniaceae, native to northern China, Inner Mongolia, Korea, and eastern Siberia, and the parent of most garden peonies grown in the West. It forms a bushy clump 60 to 90 centimeters tall with glossy, deeply divided dark green leaves and, in late spring, large, fragrant, bowl-shaped flowers 8 to 16 centimeters across, white to pale pink in the wild type. The thick, cylindrical roots of cultivated plants are boiled and peeled to give the pale, dense product known as white peony root. We extract the dried root.
