Traditional-use context
These notes are presented as ethnobotanical context. No cited clinical references are catalogued for this plant yet.
  • 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.
