Net nature
Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net nature not shown: the chief herb (Ji Zi Huang) has no dose in grams.

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold cool neutral warm

Grams by band: cold 39%, cool 34%, neutral 22%, warm 5%.

Small but decisive: Gui Ban 12g (cold, 10% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.

Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net slightly warm (+0.64)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

neutral warm

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.
