| Net nature |
Net cold (-1.52) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 77%, cool 10%, warm 13%. Small but decisive: Huang Lian 3g (cold, 3% of the grams), Zhi Zi 9g (cold, 10% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for. |
Net cool (-1.04) From 100% of the weighed grams. Grams by band: cold 61%, neutral 19%, warm 19%. |

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.
