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 (-1.35)
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Grams by band: cold 62%, cool 24%, warm 14%.
Small but decisive: Gui Ban 9g (cold, 8% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.
Taste
- pungent 13%
- sweet 24%
- sour 9%
- bitter 51%
- salty 4%
From 100% of the weighed grams.
Channels reached
- Liver 87%
- Spleen 54%
- Heart 51%
- Large intestine 41%
- Stomach 41%
- Kidney 38%
Share of the grams entering each channel, from 100% of the weighed grams.
1 herb without a dose in grams, so left out of every figure above: Tao Ren.
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.
