Paeonia lactiflora var. rubra
The unprepared red form of Chinese peony root; used in TCM for clearing blood heat and moving blood stasis — different properties from Bai Shao.
Red Peony Root (Paeonia lactiflora var. rubra) is a traditional Chinese herb used to clear blood heat and move blood stasis, with modern research indicating anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective properties. Its primary active compounds include paeoniflorin, paeonol, oxypaeoniflorin, and gallic acid, which contribute to its pharmacological effects. Evidence level C supports its use in conditions such as bruising, blood disorders, and liver heat.
Paeoniflorin and paeonol inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α and IL-6. Paeonol also suppresses platelet aggregation via inhibition of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) synthesis and calcium mobilization. Antioxidant effects are mediated through upregulation of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Hepatoprotection involves reduction of oxidative stress and modulation of cytochrome P450 enzymes.
