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.
