It grows to about 60-100 cm tall with large compound leaves 20-40 cm long. The flower buds are large and round, opening into large flowers 8-16 cm in diameter, with 5-10 white, pink, or crimson petals and yellow stamens. The plant is native to east Asia and grows on dry open stony slopes, riverbanks, and sparse woodland edges.<\/p>\n<p>For medicinal use, the roots are dug up, cleaned, and the bark and rootlets are removed. The peeled root is boiled in water for a short while and then dried in the sun. The resulting white root is known as White Peony Root (Bai Shao), as opposed to the unpeeled Red Peony Root (Chi Shao), which has different medicinal properties.<br \/>\n<a href=\"#top\"><font size=\"-1\">Back to Top<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<hr size=3 width=80% COLOR=\"#004040\" align=\"center\">\n<h3><a name=\"Where\">Where Found<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>White peony is native to eastern Asia, including China, Mongolia, and Siberia.

It was first mentioned in the Prescriptions for Fifty-two Ailments, which dates back to the Spring and Autumn Period (771-476 BC). The Treatise on Cold-Induced and Miscellaneous Diseases, written by Zhang Zhongjing at the end of the East Han dynasty (25-220 AD), mentions white peony extensively, though at that time there was no clear differentiation between white peony root and red peony root.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t until the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127 AD) that physicians began to distinguish between the efficacy of white peony root versus red peony root. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368-1912 AD), the two were clearly described as separate medicines with different properties and uses.<\/p>\n<p>White peony is considered a symbol of wealth, good fortune, and honor in Chinese culture. It is sometimes called the &#8220;king of flowers&#8221; and is associated with royalty, feminine beauty, and prosperity.<br \/>\n                <a href=\"#top\"><font size=\"-1\">Back to Top<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<hr size=3 width=80% COLOR=\"#004040\" align=\"center\">\n<h3><a name=\"Uses\">Uses<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>White peony root is used for various medicinal purposes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>1.
