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 (+0.46)
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Grams by band: neutral 62%, warm 31%, hot 8%.
Small but decisive: Gan Jiang 3g (hot, 8% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.
Taste
- pungent 55%
- sweet 21%
- bitter 24%
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Channels reached
- Spleen 100%
- Liver 62%
- Lung 39%
- Stomach 15%
- Kidney 15%
- Large intestine 8%
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.
Preparation
Grind the ingredients into powder, and orally, 9 g each time
