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 cool (-0.91)
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Grams by band: cold 41%, cool 19%, neutral 31%, warm 9%.
Small but decisive: Che Qian Zi 60g (cold, 6% of the grams), Han Shui Shi 90g (cold, 9% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.
Taste
- pungent 27%
- sweet 51%
- sour 4%
- bitter 10%
- salty 5%
- bland 3%
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Channels reached
- Liver 84%
- Kidney 79%
- Spleen 26%
- Lung 20%
- Pericardium 19%
- Heart 16%
