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 neutral (-0.25)
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Grams by band: cool 50%, neutral 25%, warm 25%.
Pairs warm and cool. 25% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 50% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story.
Taste
- sweet 71%
- bitter 21%
- salty 8%
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Channels reached
- Lung 75%
- Kidney 50%
- Liver 50%
- Large intestine 25%
- Stomach 25%
- Spleen 25%
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.
