Grams by band: cold 46%, cool 25%, neutral 5%, warm 25%.

Small but decisive: Da Huang 6g (cold, 9% of the grams), Huang Qin 6g (cold, 9% of the grams), Zhi Zi 6g (cold, 9% 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.
