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 warm (+1.18)
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Grams by band: cool 12%, warm 47%, hot 41%.
Small but decisive: Rou Gui 15g (hot, 6% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.
Taste
- pungent 62%
- sweet 3%
- sour 6%
- bitter 29%
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Channels reached
- Spleen 77%
- Liver 65%
- Lung 47%
- Heart 41%
- Kidney 41%
- Stomach 35%
