Brief Summary:
Through empirical research evaluating the effects of JING SI HERBAL TEA LIQUID PACKETS and JING SI HERBAL TANG HENG POWDER DRINK as adjunctive treatments for various cardiovascular diseases we aim to provide sufficient evidence to address the following questions
1 Can JING SI HERBAL TEA LIQUID PACKETS and JING SI HERBAL TANG HENG POWDER DRINK significantly improve various inflammatory responses involved in the process of atherosclerosis thereby enhancing the prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome and chronic ischemic heart disease
2 Can JING SI HERBAL TEA LIQUID PACKETS and JING SI HERBAL TANG HENG POWDER DRINK provide a healthy and effective adjunctive therapy for patients with hypertension diabetes and hyperlipidemia by lowering blood pressure potentially related to known ACE2 receptors blood glucose levels including the improvement of pancreatic β-cell insulin secretion capacity and cellular insulin utilization efficiency and cholesterol levels
3 Can JING SI HERBAL TEA LIQUID PACKETS and JING SI HERBAL TANG HENG POWDER DRINK influence the prognosis of various diseases including the most critical cardiovascular conditions such as acute coronary syndrome and chronic ischemic heart disease by altering the human gut microbiota
4 Can JING SI HERBAL TEA LIQUID PACKETS and JING SI HERBAL TANG HENG POWDER DRINK improve renal indicators such as BUN creatinine UACR and eGFR thereby protecting the kidneys and reducing complications like microalbuminuria

Detailed Description:
The Jing-Si Herbal Drink is composed of eight native Taiwanese herbal ingredients mugwort fishwort houttuynia dwarf lilyturf balloon flower perilla leaf chrysanthemum and licorice These ingredients are known for their properties to clear heat dispel cold ventilate the lungs transform phlegm and eliminate dampness Preliminary cell and animal studies have demonstrated that this drink can block the binding of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 to cells and reduce cellular penetration thereby preventing the virus from entering the cells Recently the Jing-Si Herbal Drink in powder form known as Jing-Si Herbal Drink Concentrate Powder received an export-specific license from the Ministry of Health and Welfare A research team from Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital has confirmed that combining standard treatment with Jing-Si Herbal Drink provides good clinical protective effects and safety for patients with mild to moderate COVID-19
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 ACE2 encoded by the ACE2 gene located on the X chromosome regulates blood pressure and endocrine functions by clearing the vasopressor angiotensin II Ang II thereby allowing blood vessels to relax Studies have shown that the human ACE2 receptor is the gateway for the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 to enter cells Both the novel coronavirus and the SARS coronavirus must bind to the ACE2 receptor via their spike proteins to enter cells and replicate extensively leading to pathogenicity It is therefore reasonable to hypothesize that the Jing-Si Herbal Drink may block the binding of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 to cells by regulating the ACE2 receptor
Recently the basic medical research team on herbal drinks at Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital has demonstrated through animal experiments that the Jing-Si Herbal Drink has significant anti-aging protective effects on cardiovascular and metabolic functions in aged rats 24-month-old WKY rats Additionally a preliminary analysis conducted by Professor Hong-Chih Hans laboratory at the Hualien Tzu Chi Hospitals Innovation and Research Center revealed that various aspects of immune function were positively affected by the Jing-Si Herbal Drink It was observed that IFN-γ levels in the blood of subjects significantly increased 48-96 hours after consumption of the Jing-Si Herbal Drink suggesting that it plays an important role in immune regulation
The Jing-Si Abode Herbal Research and Development Team has built upon the original Jing-Si Herbal Drink formula to create a new generation of herbal beverage Jing-Si Herbal Sugar-Balance Beverage This new formula incorporates pumpkin powder and bitter melon extract powder containing bitter melon peptides in addition to the eight original herbal ingredients of the concentrated herbal drink It is expected to provide enhanced protection for blood sugar and lipid metabolism as well as immune function Recently the basic medical research team on herbal drinks at Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital conducted animal experiments that preliminarily confirmed the superior blood sugar-lowering effects of the Jing-Si Herbal Sugar-Balance Beverage formula in diabetic rats compared to the original Jing-Si Herbal Drink formula and the drug Metformin
The investigators will leverage the professional care provided by clinical physicians and the analytical research capabilities of our basic laboratory to collaboratively evaluate the effects of Jing-Si Herbal Drink Concentrate and Jing-Si Herbal Drink Sugar-Balance Beverage as adjunctive treatments for patients with various cardiovascular diseases The investigators aim to not only improve the quality of life for these patients but also achieve beneficial outcomes in treating some clinically challenging diseases and symptoms
