4oz
Brief History & Origin
White Peony Root (Bai Shao) is the Root of Blood, Balance, and Feminine Harmony, one of the most important herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine for nourishing the blood, regulating the liver, and supporting women’s health.
For centuries, it has been used to restore balance where there is deficiency, tension, or irregularity, especially within the menstrual cycle, hormonal system, and emotional body. Often paired with other herbs like Dang Gui, it helps create a state of smooth flow—physically and energetically.
Unlike aggressive herbs, White Peony Root works through softening and nourishing, allowing the body to release tension and return to natural rhythm.
Spiritually, it is the embodiment of graceful strength—power that moves through softness, not force.
