| Net nature |
Net neutral (-0.25) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 30%, cool 14%, neutral 4%, warm 51%. Pairs warm and cool. 51% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 45% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. Small but decisive: Huang Bai 6g (cold, 9% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for. |
Net slightly warm (+0.64) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: neutral 36%, warm 64%. |

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.
