Net nature
Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net slightly cool (-0.59)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold cool neutral warm

Grams by band: cold 22%, cool 44%, neutral 4%, warm 30%.

Pairs warm and cool. 30% of the weighed grams are warm or hot and 67% cool or cold — the net is their average, not the whole story.

Small but decisive: Zhi Zi 3g (cold, 7% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.

Net cold (-1.66)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

Grams by band: cold 86%, neutral 9%, warm 6%.

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.
