Yes it does, I take PM with WP tea so it doesn't interfere with PM me, WP has different actions then PM. Come to find out it does more then originally thought,
- Positively influences low progesterone
- Modulates estrogen and prolactin
- Affects the ovarian follicle by its action on the aromatase enzyme (that's what converts testosterone to estrogen)
Paeonia has been shown to positively influence low progesterone, reduce elevated androgens (testosterone) and acts to modulate estrogen and prolactin. (7) In vitro, the active constituent paeoniflorin has been shown to affect the ovarian follicle by its action on the aromatase enzyme. (8) Aromatase is important for follicle maturation, ovulation and corpus luteum function, steroid hormone synthesis and the regulation of the conversion of androgens to estrogens. The biofeedback in the pituitary and hypothalamus rely on aromatase to regulate prolactin and GnRH. The daily dose for Paeonia is 4.5 to 9 mL of a 1:2 dried plant extract. (9)

I've been trying to find a reputable extract but have yet to find one, so if anyone has a source please let me know!.
Thanks
I ordered some through Amazon, from Pure Essence Health. Like you, I have not been able to find a better known source. If I have anything to report once I have tried it, I will let you know. I did receive the tea you recommended, and have just finished my first cup. It is inoffensive in flavor (although not particularly yummy).
