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 (+0.15)
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Grams by band: cool 40%, neutral 6%, warm 55%.
Pairs warm and cool. 55% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 40% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story.
Taste
- pungent 85%
- sweet 10%
- bitter 4%
- salty 1%
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Channels reached
- Liver 83%
- Lung 72%
- Pericardium 18%
- Gallbladder 18%
- Spleen 11%
- Stomach 10%

Formula family
Each entry reads as the larger formula written out: “+” adds its other catalogue cores, then the herbs none of them hold. A catalogue formula counts as a core only when at least 80% of its herbs are present, no more than 1 is absent, and the absent herb is not its chief.
