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 (-0.21)
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Grams by band: cold 14%, cool 29%, neutral 21%, warm 36%.
Pairs warm and cool. 36% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 43% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story.
Taste
- pungent 21%
- sweet 39%
- bitter 32%
- bland 7%
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Channels reached
- Lung 86%
- Spleen 71%
- Stomach 64%
- Heart 57%
- Gallbladder 14%
- Kidney 7%
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.

- This formula = Da Ban Xia Tang + Chen Pi, Chi Fu Ling, Gan Cao, Mai Men Dong, Pi Pa Ye and Zhu Ru
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.
