| Net nature |
Net cool (-1.33) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 61%, cool 25%, warm 14%. Small but decisive: Zhen Zhu 15g (cold, 6% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for. |
Net slightly cool (-0.43) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 29%, cool 29%, warm 43%. Pairs warm and cool. 43% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 57% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. Small but decisive: Dan Zhu Ye 6g (cold, 7% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for. |

Energetics are dose-weighted from each herb's recorded nature, taste and channels; herbs without a record are left out, never counted as neutral, and a net nature is withheld when its chief herb has none. Classical formulas often pair warm and cool herbs on purpose — a net figure summarises the mix, it doesn't judge it.
