Dr. Zhang Ziyi
Paeoniae Radicis Alba Praeparata (fried with bran) can be used to treat digestive system disorders. It helps inhibit gastric acid secretion, alleviate symptoms of excessive stomach acid, improve indigestion, and suppress conditions such as gastritis and peptic ulcers. It can also be used for respiratory diseases, effectively reducing coughing, improving asthma symptoms, and relieving tracheal spasms. Additionally, Paeoniae Radicis Alba Praeparata may be used in treating cardiovascular diseases by alleviating hypertension, lowering blood lipids, reducing symptoms of atherosclerosis, and improving arrhythmia. However, it is slightly toxic, so caution should be exercised during use to ensure safety and avoid overdose.
