Grams by band: cool 13%, neutral 26%, warm 48%, hot 13%.

Small but decisive: Gan Jiang 3g (hot, 7% of the grams), Rou Gui 3g (hot, 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.
