Constructor
The Constructor tab allows you to assess the impact of a culinary recipe on a person's constitution.
Select products by choosing them in the Rating tab or the Product List. Use the Filter to sort products by category, and the Search field to find a specific product in the list.
The selected products will appear in the Recipe field.
The Dosha Balance graph displays the potency of the culinary recipe's influence on each individual Dosha, represented by directional arrows.
Upward-pointing arrows indicate an increasing effect, while downward-pointing arrows indicate a decreasing effect. The number of arrows (from zero to three) indicates the potency of the effect:
- 3 arrows: Potent recipe
- 2 arrows: Moderately potent
- 1 arrow: Weakly potent
- No arrows: Neutral effect
The Value Index scale displays the overall efficacy of the culinary recipe on a scale from -10 to 10, where:
- +5 to +10: Recipe with a pronounced positive effect
- +3 to +5: Recipe with a positive effect
- +1 to +3: Recipe with a weakly positive effect
- -1 to +1: Recipe with a neutral effect
- -1 to -3: Recipe with a weakly negative effect
- -3 to -5: Recipe with a negative effect
- -5 to -10: Recipe with a pronounced negative effect
The potential effects of the recipe are described, taking into account the individual's current constitution, and reflect possible outcomes. It is important to note that individual characteristics and personal sensitivity to the recipe's ingredients must be considered. The general trends in how foods affect typical constitutional types are calculated and provided.
