Intervention1. Patients in banhasasim-tang group receive a pack of this herbal formula (3 g), that is formed in granules, for three times a day after meal
2. Patients in placebo group receive a pack of corn-starch granules (3 g) that have the same color and taste as banhasasim-tang granules for three times a day after meal

The total duration of both arms is 14 weeks. Timepoints are as follows:
Visit 1: Screening
Visit 2: Randomisation and first administration of banhasasim-tang or placebo for 2 weeks
Visit 3: Follow-up and second administration for 2 weeks
Visit 4: Follow-up and third administration for 2 weeks

2. Symptom severity is assessed by 5-point Likert Scale (0: none, 1: slight, 2: moderate, 3: severe, 4: very severe)

Assessment will be conducted at baseline, 2, 4, and 6 weeks after administration, 4 and 8 weeks after treatment finish.
Secondary outcome measures1. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for overall discomfort due to dyspepsia, assessed at baseline, 2, 4, and 6 weeks after administration, 4 and 8 weeks after treatment finish
2. Functional Dyspepsia-related Quality of Life (FD-QoL), assessed at baseline, 2, 4, and 6 weeks after administration, 4 and 8 weeks after treatment finish
