| Net nature |
Net slightly cool (-0.35) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 39%, neutral 29%, warm 20%, hot 12%. Pairs warm and cool. 31% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 39% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. |
Net warm (+0.79) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cool 10%, neutral 10%, warm 74%, hot 7%. Small but decisive: Zhi Fu Zi 45g (hot, 7% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for. |

| Channels reached |
Share of the grams entering each channel, from 100% of the weighed grams. |

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.
