• Anti-inflammatory: It helps reduce inflammation in the body by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory substances such as cytokines and prostaglandins, making it suitable for treating rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.
• Neuroprotective: Studies show paeoniflorin protects neurons from damage, reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, while improving cognitive functions.
• Antioxidant: Paeoniflorin exhibits antioxidant effects, reducing cellular damage from oxidative stress, a contributor to various chronic diseases.
• Immunomodulatory: It balances the immune system by suppressing overactive immune responses in autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
• Cardiovascular support: Paeoniflorin helps lower blood pressure, prevents atherosclerosis by improving blood circulation, and reduces lipid accumulation in blood vessels.
• Anti-cancer potential: Research indicates it may inhibit cancer cell growth and induce apoptosis in certain cancer cells.
• Stress and anxiety relief: It affects the central nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety by modulating neurotransmitter levels in the brain.
• Skincare applications: Incorporated into products to soothe irritated skin and reduce redness.

The use of paeoniflorin is still under further research, but preliminary results demonstrate high potential in treatment and prevention of various diseases.
