Introduction
Paeonia lactiflora root, dried root of Paeonia lactiflora Pallas (Fam. Paeoniaceae), has a long history of
use in East Asian countries. There are two kinds of peony root: white peony root and red peony root,
which are used for different therapeutic purposes. White peony root is used to tonify the blood and
preserve the yin, to nourish the liver and assist in the smooth flow of qi, and to regulate the meridians
and ease pain.
White peony root is known as clinically effective for the treatment of blood deficiency and sallow
complexion, menstrual irregularities, spontaneous sweating, night sweating and chronic pain. Different
quality requirements between different countries and regions, different packaging, transportation and
storage conditions can affect the quality of white peony root.
Therefore, the harmonization of requirements of white peony root is required to ensure quality and
safety. As national implementation can differ, national standards bodies can modify the values given in
5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.7 in their national standards. Examples of national and regional values are given in
Annex C.
