What is Dan Pi Fen?
Regarded as ‘The King of Flowers’ in China, Peony has been an important part of Chinese culture for centuries and is one of the most revered botanicals in Chinese Medicine. Yet, while its ruffled pink petals brighten up every room and garden in which it is placed, it is the root bark - the Cortex Moutan - where Peony’s true qualities lie – a powdered extract we refer to as Dan Pi Fen.The star of the show among Dan Pi Fen’s active constituents is Paeonol, a phenolic compound. The biological effects of Paeonol have been studied more than any other single compound from this herb, with its beneficial effects now believed to include reduction of cerebral infarction (a type of stroke), anti-mutagenic activity, the inhibition of anaphylactic reaction and pain relief effects. What’s more, Dan Pi Fen’s powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and astringent qualities also make it essential and effective for the cosmetic treatment of several skin and body concerns.
