It is not true that white peony can cure six diseases. White peony is used to treat conditions related to liver-blood deficiency (deficiency of blood in the liver), menstrual disorders, and liver-spleen disharmony (inability of the liver and spleen to work in harmony). Bai Shao belongs to the group of Chinese herbs that have the effects of nourishing blood and astringing yin (nourishing the blood and astringing the yin fluid), softening the liver and relieving pain (treating pains caused by deficiency of liver yin and liver blood), as well as calming the liver yang (suppressing excessively rising liver yang). It can be used to treat conditions of liver-blood deficiency and menstrual disorders, as well as liver-spleen disharmony (inability of the liver and spleen to work in harmony), and can also be used for conditions such as contractural pain in the limbs and headache and dizziness. Paeonia lactiflora with Wu Yao can enhance the efficacy of nourishing blood and promoting qi (nourishing the blood and promoting qi movement) and dispersing cold and relieving pain (relieving pain by dispelling cold in the body), and is suitable for treating qi and blood stagnation (blockage of qi and blood that does not run smoothly) and abdominal pain with platitude (stomach distension and discomfort). Adverse reactions to Paeonia lactiflora include occasional epigastric discomfort and abdominal pain. Precautions include patients with deficiency of spleen and stomach (spleen and stomach weak and cold), kidney yang deficiency (deficiency of yang energy in the kidneys) should not take a large amount of a single medicine, and it is contraindicated in patients with qi deficiency and spontaneous sweating (involuntary sweating during the daytime, aggravated by sweating with the slightest movement), as well as those who are sweating due to yang deficiency. Chinese medicines or proprietary Chinese medicines need to be used under the guidance of a Chinese doctor to identify the symptoms, and individuals should not use them blindly to avoid adverse consequences.
