What is peony?
Peony root is a time-honored Hanbang ingredient that has been trusted in Korean wellness practices for over 2000 years. Known for its natural muscle-soothing properties, it was traditionally used to relieve spasms, ease discomfort, and help the body recover.
The secret behind peony’s benefits comes from paeoniflorin, which helps ease muscle tension and support healthy circulation. When you soak in warm water infused with peony, these compounds absorb through your skin to deliver deep relief. This is why peony has remained a trusted part of Hanbang bathing traditions for centuries.
Peony Benefits for Your Bath
Peony does more than just relax tense muscles. Anyone can add this Hanbang ingredient to their routine, but it’s especially helpful if your body feels tight, sore, or worn down from daily demands. Here are a few ways peony can support your bath:
Releases tense muscles – Eases tightness in your shoulders, neck, and back that builds up during the day.
Relieves muscle spasms – Reduces cramps that appear after workouts or strike unexpectedly.
Soothes discomfort – Alleviates aches that interfere with your ability to relax.
Improves circulation – Supports blood flow to aid recovery and reduce swelling.
Which concerns does peony address?
Peony works well for general muscle relief, but it’s particularly effective for specific concerns. Here’s how it might help you:
Tense Shoulders and Neck
If you spend hours at a desk or carry stress in your upper body, peony’s natural properties can help release that persistent tightness and bring relief to overworked muscles.
Heavy, Tired Legs
Long days of standing or sitting leave your legs exhausted and swollen. Peony eases muscle fatigue and supports circulation to help them recover.
Post-Workout Soreness
When exercise leaves you achy, peony helps your muscles bounce back faster, reducing the soreness that follows an intense workout.
