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 (-1.37)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold neutral

Grams by band: cold 69%, neutral 32%.

Small but decisive: Ling Yang Jiao 5g (cold, 3% of the grams), Qi Ye Yi Zhi Hua 10g (cold, 7% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.

Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net neutral (+0.15)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cool neutral warm

Grams by band: cool 40%, neutral 6%, warm 55%.

Pairs warm and cool. 55% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 40% 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.
