Mokbanggi-tang

Mokbanggi-tang is a traditional Korean herbal medicine formula used in East Asian traditional medicine. It is primarily investigated and used for the treatment of conditions related to fluid imbalance such as edema, pleural effusion, and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Preliminary studies and case reports suggest its potential use as a therapeutic option for HFpEF and pleural effusion in the context of traditional medicine approaches, but there is minimal large-scale clinical trial evidence to support broad pharmaceutical indications at this time. The precise mechanism of action is not established in scientific literature, typical of traditional herbal mixtures; it is postulated to act on fluid regulation pathways, potentially via modulation of diuresis and inflammation by the synergistic activity of its multiple botanical ingredients.
