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 (+0.39) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 14%, neutral 36%, warm 32%, hot 18%. Small but decisive: Huang Lian 6g (cold, 7% of the grams), Huang Bai 6g (cold, 7% of the grams), Zhi Fu Zi 6g (hot, 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.
