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 slightly cool (-0.59)
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Grams by band: cold 41%, cool 9%, neutral 18%, warm 32%.
Pairs warm and cool. 32% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 50% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story.
Small but decisive: Han Fang Ji 6g (cold, 9% of the grams), Gui Ban 6g (cold, 9% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.
Taste
- pungent 21%
- sweet 17%
- sour 3%
- bitter 51%
- salty 5%
- bland 5%
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Channels reached
- Kidney 59%
- Liver 59%
- Spleen 50%
- Stomach 41%
- Large intestine 32%
- Bladder 32%
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, paste into pills with wine, take in 6 g doses with decoction of ginger; or as a decoction, the dosage should be reduced according to the original proportion

Formula family
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.
