Energetics (dose-weighted)
Net nature

Net slightly cool (-0.73)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold cool neutral warm

Grams by band: cold 40%, cool 13%, neutral 27%, warm 20%.

Small but decisive: Ling Yang Jiao 3g (cold, 7% of the grams), Huang Qin 3g (cold, 7% of the grams), Che Qian Zi 3g (cold, 7% of the grams), Da Huang 3g (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.
