Energetics (dose-weighted)
Net nature
Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net neutral (-0.25)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold cool neutral warm

Grams by band: cold 13%, cool 25%, neutral 38%, warm 25%.

Pairs warm and cool. 25% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 38% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story.

Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net slightly cool (-0.59)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold cool neutral warm

Grams by band: cold 41%, cool 9%, neutral 18%, warm 32%.

Pairs warm and cool. 32% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 50% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story.

Small but decisive: Han Fang Ji 6g (cold, 9% of the grams), Gui Ban 6g (cold, 9% 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.
