• Brown's Peony is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to support immune function. A decoction of the root may help enhance the body’s natural defenses.

  Paeoniflorin and paeonol, compounds found in peony roots, have been shown to possess immunomodulatory effects by regulating cytokine production and enhancing phagocytic activity. However, more research is needed to fully understand these mechanisms.
