    Whoops. The only thing I know about them is that they are used to make White Tea, supposedly rich in antioxidants.

    peony is a very strong chinese medicine, especially for women at specific times in their life cycle. I'm no expert. Could look it up for you if you beg, but otherwise, if you want peony recipees, go to a chinese herbal log .. online.. in a book. .. . or beg me and I'll look it up for you ;)
