Paeonia caucasica

• Traditional-use note: Paeonia caucasica appears in herbal sources around calming and relaxation traditions, often as a decoction. PlantSage presents this as ethnobotanical context, not as medical advice.

• Paeonia species are traditionally used in Chinese medicine to support immune function, with Paeonia lactiflora being a well-documented example. This suggests that Paeonia caucasica may also be beneficial for immune health.

  The mechanism is not fully characterised but involves compounds such as paeonol which has been shown to have immunomodulatory effects, potentially enhancing the body's response to pathogens.
