| Net nature |
Net cool (-0.85) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 48%, cool 6%, neutral 29%, warm 17%. Small but decisive: Zhi Zi 15g (cold, 10% 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.
