Mu Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Mǔ Dān Pí (牡丹皮) and commonly called Dān Pí (丹皮), is the dried root bark of the tree peony, Paeonia suffruticosa. For centuries it has been prized as a cooling, blood-quickening herb traditionally used to clear heat, cool the blood, and invigorate circulation.
