| Net nature |
Net warm (+0.94) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: neutral 22%, warm 61%, hot 17%. |
Net neutral (+0.07) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 13%, cool 13%, neutral 40%, warm 20%, hot 13%. Pairs warm and cool. 33% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 27% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. Small but decisive: Zhi Fu Zi 15g (hot, 7% of the grams), Rou Gui 15g (hot, 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.
