Grams by band: cold 45%, cool 21%, neutral 29%, warm 5%.

Small but decisive: Chan Tui 3g (cold, 5% of the grams), Niu Bang Zi 4.5g (cold, 7% of the grams), Zhi Mu 3g (cold, 5% 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.
