Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. It mainly contains volatile oil, monoterpenes, triterpenes, flavonoids and other components. It has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antidepressant, anti-liver injury and other pharmacological effects. In this paper, its modern processing methods, chemical constituents and pharmacological effects were reviewed. At the same time, according to the research results of Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), the network pharmacology method was used to predict the effective components and construct the “disease-component-target” network diagram of Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba). Based on the theory of quality marker (Q-Marker), combined with the specificity, measurability, medicinal properties and efficacy of chemical components, the Q-Marker of Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) was predicted. The results showed that paeoniflorin, albiflorin, oxypaeoniflorin, gallic acid and catechin could be used as the main Q-Marker of Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), hoping to provide data support for further study of Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba).
