Net nature
Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net neutral (+0.08)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold neutral warm

Grams by band: cold 8%, neutral 67%, warm 25%.

Small but decisive: Che Qian Zi 60g (cold, 8% of the grams). Dose weighting nearly cancels a herb this small, but it may be what the formula is for.

Cold Cool Neutral Warm Hot

Net slightly cool (-0.26)

From 100% of the weighed grams.

cold neutral

Grams by band: cold 13%, neutral 87%.

Small but decisive: Huang Bai 6g (cold, 9% of the grams), Che Qian Zi 3g (cold, 4% 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.
