Liu Jun Zi Tang, also known as the Six Major Herb Combo Decoction, is an enduring herbal prescription used in China and South Korea for more than 500 years.

Historically, the decoction’s primary use has been to treat functional dyspepsia and depression, although a recent study of Korean medicine, published in the international academic journal Frontiers in Pharmacology on Oct. 26, 2022, found it also to be effective in improving cognitive function.
