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 slightly warm (+0.28) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 4%, cool 29%, neutral 4%, warm 64%. Pairs warm and cool. 64% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 33% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. Small but decisive: Huang Qin 9g (cold, 4% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for. |
Net slightly warm (+0.50) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cool 25%, warm 75%. Pairs warm and cool. 75% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 25% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. |

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.
