Energetics dose-weighted
The formula's overall nature, taste balance and channel reach, weighted by each herb's dose. Classical formulas often pair warm and cool herbs on purpose, so a net figure summarises the mix — it doesn't describe every herb in it.
Nature
Net cold (-1.63)
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Grams by band: cold 70%, cool 26%, warm 4%.
Small but decisive: Da Huang 6g (cold, 7% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.
Taste
- pungent 22%
- sweet 41%
- sour 6%
- bitter 32%
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Channels reached
- Lung 74%
- Stomach 59%
- Large intestine 44%
- Heart 44%
- Liver 37%
- Spleen 33%
Share of the grams entering each channel, from 100% of the weighed grams.
Dose-weighted from each herb's recorded nature, taste and channels (missing values are left out, never counted as neutral). It describes the composition — it is not a recommendation.
