Energetics (dose-weighted)
Net nature

Net slightly warm (+0.33)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cool neutral warm hot

Grams by band: cool 15%, neutral 45%, warm 33%, hot 8%.

Small but decisive: Rou Gui 3g (hot, 8% 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.
