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 slightly warm (+0.71)
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Grams by band: cold 19%, neutral 6%, warm 39%, hot 35%.
Small but decisive: Rou Gui 1.5g (hot, 3% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.
Taste
- pungent 34%
- sweet 40%
- sour 1%
- bitter 25%
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Channels reached
- Spleen 98%
- Heart 76%
- Lung 67%
- Stomach 56%
- Kidney 38%
- Liver 3%
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.

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.
