Rules adjust ±0.5–1.5 via BBT, discharge, ultrasound, FSH, androgens, PRL, thyroid (T3/T4), insulin, symptoms, pulse, Yin–Yang rhythm, spleen–earth. Selected cycle phase rescales these adjustments to surface phase-specific priorities. Odd numbers (7/5/3) govern Yin → afternoon/evening dosing. Even numbers (2/4/6) govern Yang → daytime dosing. 3-day menses = Heart–Kidney focus; 5-day = Spleen–Stomach; 7-day = Liver–Gallbladder (constitutional emphasis, not pathology).
