The Peony (Paeonia Albiflora) has a history of being used as a magical herb. The seeds were worn as a necklace for protection and in rituals, while the roots were carved into amulets and rosary beads.
Peony roots were used in both Chinese and European herbology. Chinese researchers found that they contained sedative and analgesic properties and thus have used them to relieve headaches, gastric pain, bladder infections, menstrual pain, convulsions, and epilepsy.
Paeonia Albiflora Flower Extract is a light to medium amber liquid with a characteristic odor. Peony flower extract is used in skincare and bath products and as an aromatic in soaps, lotions, and fragrances.
