• Supports a healthy inflammation response + immune balance (best human evidence: rheumatoid arthritis adjunct use)

  • Peony root contains bioactive glycosides—especially paeoniflorin—that have documented anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity in pharmacology research (affecting inflammatory signaling and immune regulation).

  • In clinical contexts (particularly in China), TGP (a standardized extract from peony root) has been widely studied/used as an adjunct in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) care. Systematic review literature discusses its role and the evidence base (with typical cautions about study quality in some reviews).

• May help reduce treatment-related side effects when used as an adjunct in RA care (clinical evidence focuses on safety outcomes)

  • A systematic review/meta-analysis evaluated the clinical safety of TGP as adjuvant therapy for RA, reflecting real-world medical use alongside conventional treatments. This is one of the more “medically grounded” areas of peony-root research because it involves human trial data aggregated across studies.

  • Practical takeaway for compliant wording: peony root–derived extracts are primarily supported as adjunct support in inflammatory/autoimmune settings—not as a stand-alone treatment claim for the tea.

• Traditionally used for cramping/pain—and lab research supports antispasmodic mechanisms (but direct “tea-only” proof is limited)

  • Traditional medical use includes muscle cramping/spasms and dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain), and scientific reviews discuss these historical indications alongside modern mechanistic findings.

  • Mechanistically, paeoniflorin has demonstrated smooth-muscle relaxation effects in experimental models, linked to changes in calcium handling/ion-channel activity—a biologically plausible pathway for spasm-related discomfort (note: this specific evidence is largely preclinical, not definitive proof for brewed tea effects).
