Energy Evoker Square Box redefines modern wellness culture through modular formulation philosophy. With a unique mortise-and-tenon structure, it transforms over 300 classic herbal combinations from Shang Han Lun (On Cold Damage) and Shiliao Bencao (Materia Medica for Dietotherapy) into seven customizable wellness units. Users can mix and match based on their body type or lifestyle needs, turning the ancient compatibility wisdom of "monarch, minister, assistant, and guide" into an interactive, youth-friendly experience.



The outer packaging is molded from compressed herbal residues of the corresponding formulas, with surface textures replicating the raw material's natural grain. The inner cube is made from food-grade PLA biodegradable materials, ensuring precise control of medical dosage to avoid overconsumption while achieving a 100% zero-waste sustainability. Measuring 34x34x42mm, the compact size fits seamlessly into various daily settings, extending wellness scenarios to workspaces, gyms, and beyond.



The visual design extracts 389 natural herb colors from ancient illustrations of Bencao Pinhui Jingyao (Materia Medica Containing Essential and Important Material Arranged in Systematic Order). Paired with minimalist geometric forms, it modernizes traditional Chinese medical aesthetics. The box features mortise-and-tenon structures on the top and bottom, extending its emotional lifecycle through interactive mechanics. Empty boxes can be repurposed for secondary creative use, while the herbal residue packaging biodegrades to nourish new seedlings when buried, offering a sustainable and culturally rich solution.



By deconstructing ancient formulas into modular units, the product establishes a three-layer material cycle: ointment, square box, and herbal residue packaging. This approach transforms Eastern wellness concepts into a minimalist, modular formulation system, ensuring user convenience and cognitive ease.
