Phase 1 — Testing in a small group (usually 20–80 people) to find a safe dose and watch for side effects.
This trial is testing Jing Si Herbal Tea, a blend of herbs designed to reduce inflammation and support the immune system in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Researchers want to see if taking this herbal tea, either on its own or alongside standard COPD treatment, can help reduce symptoms like coughing, difficulty breathing, and fatigue. The study will compare the medication to a placebo (a look-alike tea with no active ingredients) to see if it truly makes a difference.
Even when people with COPD follow the best available medical treatments, they still struggle with significant symptoms and reduced quality of life. This medication is being tested because early research suggests herbal blends like this one may help calm the harmful inflammation in the lungs that drives COPD symptoms.

You would be randomly assigned to receive either the herbal tea or a placebo tea that looks identical. Some participants have stable COPD, while others have acute exacerbations (sudden flare-ups). You would take your assigned tea regularly and likely attend clinic visits for the research team to monitor your symptoms, breathing, and overall response to the treatment over time.
