| Net nature |
Net cool (-1.15) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 56%, cool 15%, neutral 17%, warm 12%. Small but decisive: Tu Bie Chong 30g (cold, 2% of the grams), Huang Qin 60g (cold, 5% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for. |
Net slightly warm (+0.64) From 100% of the weighed grams. 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.
