Background

Since the time of Hippocrates, peony has been used to treat epilepsy. Inb el Beitar, a medieval Arab physician, recommended a necklace of peony seeds to ward off epilepsy in children.  In ancient times, peony was thought to be of divine origin, an emanation from the moon, and to shine during the night protecting the shepherds and their flocks. The name, derived from the Greek as Paeon, means physician to the gods. There are some who believe that the Paeon is derived from an earlier version of Pan which makes a connection with the horned god. It was also believed that the peony is named after the mythological physician Paeos, who provided healing and herbal medication for the gods injured during the Trojan War.
