Net nature
Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net slightly cool (-0.42)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold cool neutral warm hot

Grams by band: cold 40%, cool 4%, neutral 22%, warm 27%, hot 7%.

Pairs warm and cool. 35% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 44% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story.

Small but decisive: Da Huang 120g (cold, 7% of the grams), Gan Jiang 120g (hot, 7% 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.
