Energetics (dose-weighted)
Net nature
Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net slightly cool (-0.63)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold cool neutral warm

Grams by band: cold 28%, cool 34%, neutral 9%, warm 28%.

Pairs warm and cool. 28% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 63% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story.

Small but decisive: Huang Qin 9g (cold, 9% of the grams), Yu Jin 9g (cold, 9% of the grams), Da Huang 9g (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.
