Energetics dose-weighted
The formula's overall nature, taste balance and channel reach, weighted by each herb's dose. Classical formulas often pair warm and cool herbs on purpose, so a net figure summarises the mix — it doesn't describe every herb in it.
Nature
Net neutral (+0.18)
From 100% of the weighed grams.
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 28%
- sweet 63%
- sour 4%
- bland 6%
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Channels reached
- Liver 89%
- Kidney 82%
- Spleen 52%
- Lung 26%
- Heart 26%
- Bladder 11%
Share of the grams entering each channel, from 100% of the weighed grams.
Dose-weighted from each herb's recorded nature, taste and channels (missing values are left out, never counted as neutral). It describes the composition — it is not a recommendation.
Preparation
Grind the ingredients into powder, make into pills, and take 9 g each time with salt soup, 2 times a day; or decrease the dosage according to the original proportion and decoct with water for oral use

Each entry reads as the larger formula written out: “+” adds its other catalogue cores, then the herbs none of them hold. A catalogue formula counts as a core only when at least 80% of its herbs are present, no more than 1 is absent, and the absent herb is not its chief.
