Yin Jia Wan

Lan Wei Qing Hua Tang

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

Net cool (-0.94)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold cool neutral warm

Grams by band: cold 38%, cool 29%, neutral 22%, warm 11%.

Small but decisive: Chuan Lian Zi 9g (cold, 3% of the grams), Xia Ku Cao 15g (cold, 5% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.

Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net cold (-1.55)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold cool neutral

Grams by band: cold 69%, cool 17%, neutral 14%.

Small but decisive: Chuan Lian Zi 5g (cold, 4% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.

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.
