| Net nature |
Net neutral (+0.17) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 7%, cool 22%, neutral 19%, warm 52%. Pairs warm and cool. 52% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 29% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. Small but decisive: Qian Cao Gen 9g (cold, 6% of the grams), Wu Bei Zi 1.5g (cold, 1% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for. |
Net neutral (+0.05) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 7%, cool 28%, neutral 19%, warm 47%. Pairs warm and cool. 47% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 35% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. Small but decisive: Qian Cao 9g (cold, 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.
