Compare Formulas

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

Energetics (dose-weighted)
Net nature
Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net cool (-0.86)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold cool warm

Grams by band: cold 43%, cool 29%, warm 29%.

Pairs warm and cool. 29% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 71% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story.

Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net cool (-1.06)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold cool neutral warm

Grams by band: cold 42%, cool 40%, neutral 2%, warm 17%.

Small but decisive: Huang Lian 6g (cold, 6% of the grams), Ce Bai Ye 6g (cold, 6% of the grams), Huai Jiao 9g (cold, 8% of the grams), Huang Qin 9g (cold, 8% 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.
