| Net nature |
Net neutral (+0.10) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 26%, cool 10%, warm 58%, hot 7%. Pairs warm and cool. 65% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 36% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. Small but decisive: Gan Jiang 6g (hot, 7% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for. |
Net slightly cool (-0.58) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 47%, neutral 16%, warm 37%. Pairs warm and cool. 37% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 47% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story. |

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.
