Compare Formulas
Put up to 4 formulas side by side — dose-weighted nature, taste balance and channel reach, with the composition behind them.

| Net nature |
Net warm (+0.75) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: neutral 25%, warm 75%. |
Net neutral (+0.05) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 7%, cool 28%, neutral 19%, warm 47%. Pairs warm and cool. 47% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 35% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. Small but decisive: Qian Cao 9g (cold, 7% 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.
