Jia Jian Zhu Jing Wan

Energetics (dose-weighted)
Net nature
Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net neutral (-0.10)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold warm hot

Grams by band: cold 40%, warm 50%, hot 10%.

Pairs warm and cool. 60% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 40% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story.

Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net neutral (+0.18)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold neutral warm

Grams by band: cold 15%, neutral 38%, warm 48%.

Small but decisive: Chu Shi Zi 30g (cold, 4% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.

Taste
pungent bitter
  • pungent 40%
  • bitter 60%

From 100% of the weighed grams.

pungent sweet sour bland
  • pungent 28%
  • sweet 63%

  • bland 6%

From 100% of the weighed grams.

Channels reached
  • Liver 70%
  • Stomach 60%
  • Spleen 60%
  • Small intestine 40%
  • Large intestine 30%
  • Kidney 30%

Share of the grams entering each channel, from 100% of the weighed grams.

Energetics are dose-weighted from each herb's recorded nature, taste and channels; herbs without a record are left out, never counted as neutral, and a net nature is withheld when its chief herb has none. Classical formulas often pair warm and cool herbs on purpose — a net figure summarises the mix, it doesn't judge it.
