Overview

Focao Yishen tea is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal formulation developed by the Shanghai Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Shanghai University of TCM. It is primarily investigated for the treatment of subthreshold depression, a condition characterized by depressive symptoms that do not meet the full diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder. In TCM theory, the formulation likely aims to tonify the kidney (Yishen) to address the underlying imbalances associated with mood disorders. It is administered as a tea and has been evaluated in Phase 0 clinical trials in China to assess its efficacy and safety compared to low-dose controls.
