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

cold neutral warm

Grams by band: cold 9%, neutral 39%, warm 52%.

Small but decisive: Shi Gao 15g (cold, 7% of the grams), Zhi Zi 6g (cold, 3% 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 nature not shown: no herb has a dose in grams, so nothing can be weighted.

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.
