Hi Lotus love,
First of all, what a killer post <3
I’ve got a question, I am sure you can pintpoint me in the right direction
Def not an expert (yet) on extraction, just know some basics.
It’s about White Peony Root (not leaves or anything, just the root).
You wrote that an ethanol extract would be good. But I was looking up the ingredient responsible for the aromatase effect, which is Paeoniflorin.
Paeoniflorin is water-soluble, so why would an alcohol extract be needed?
Would a bit of glycerine not be much better?
Water soluble talked about in here: (use search option)
Anti-Inflammatory and Immunomodulatory Effects of Paeonia Lactiflora Pall., a Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine
The original Paper about anti-androgenic effect. Keep a sheet of your hormone conversion next to you when you read it (wikipedia has a great one atm), it looks like the licorice components are more potent at first glance, but essentially WPR has higher aromatase effect:
Effect of paeoniflorin, glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhetic acid on ovarian androgen production.
