| Net nature |
Net slightly warm (+0.26) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 11%, cool 11%, neutral 26%, warm 44%, hot 7%. Small but decisive: Zhi Fu Zi 3g (hot, 4% of the grams), Rou Gui 3g (hot, 4% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for. |
Net neutral (+0.12) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 12%, cool 12%, neutral 28%, warm 48%. |
| Taste |

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.
