What is Peony?

One of the best kept secrets in natural medicine is the herb Peony. Peony, has been used for centuries and is particularly important in the Chinese system of medicine where it has been used as a treatment for many female ailments, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, period cramps and even the mood swings associated with hormonal conditions.

Peony is classified by the Chinese as a herb that 'cools the blood' and 'clears heat'. Therefore, conditions in which there is heat, perspiration or inflammation in relation to gynaecological or menstrual problems would mean Peony being called upon immediately, and we see where it's reputation for the treatment of menopausal hot flushes comes from.

How Does Red Peony Differ from other Menopause Herbs?

The main difference between Red Peony and most of the other menopause herbs is that it is not phyto-oestrogenic. Red clover, soya, black cohosh, wild yam etc all work because they have components that interact with oestrogen receptors in a womans body. Red Peony does not.

Is Red Peony Safe?

Many women do not want to adjust hormone levels or affect hormone receptor sites due to the fact they are worried about the connection between hormone levels and the hormone dependent cancers, or they may be taking medication that affects hormone levels directly such as HRT or Tamoxifen for example. Red Peony therefore represents a perfect option for all women experiencing menstrual flushing etc but particularly those worried about interfering with oestrogen levels etc.
