Mu Dan Pi Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Mu Dan Pi (Paeonia suffruticosa), the tree peony, is a deciduous woody shrub of the peony family, Paeoniaceae, native to the mountains of central China and cultivated there as the "king of flowers" for more than 1,500 years. It grows 1-2 m tall with stiff, grey-brown stems, large, blue-green, deeply divided leaves and enormous bowl-shaped flowers up to 25 cm across in white, pink, red or purple. The root bark is peeled off in curled, grey-brown strips that are pale pink inside with a sharp, fragrant smell and a slightly bitter taste. We extract the dried bark.
