A little research indicates that it is something the Chinese value, it

It's another 'wonder product' that is 'very good for you' and 'make you

Peony Seed Oil

Peony seed oil is a kind of fatty acid extracted from peony seed. Most
of the constituents contain more than 90% unsaturated fatty acid, among
which a- linolenic acid accounts for more than 40%. It is capable of
enhancing intelligence, deferring senility, strengthening immunity,
lowering blood fat, blood pressure and blood sugar and inhibiting
cancers.

What? It doesn't even make your teeth whiter, and make you
irrestistably attractive to the sex of your preference? Quite
useless.

Thanks for that. I reckon I'll stick to bile tapped from live bears.
