Energetics (dose-weighted)
Net nature
Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net slightly warm (+0.33)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cool warm

Grams by band: cool 33%, warm 67%.

Pairs warm and cool. 67% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 33% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story.

Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net neutral (+0.18)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold neutral warm

Grams by band: cold 15%, neutral 38%, warm 48%.

Small but decisive: Chu Shi Zi 30g (cold, 4% 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.
