Looking to get out of town to enjoy a summer vacation? Not surprisingly, Chinese herbs provide incredible options for healthier vacations, and DAO Labs has made them easier to pack, enjoy and consume – whether for a much needed immunity bump, or when enjoying one additional cocktail and you’re looking to prevent a dreaded hangover the next morning, behold below our first DAO Labs packing list.
Your Summer of 2023 Chinese Herbs Packing List
Immunity Support: This summer, no one should leave home without Immunity Support, inspired by the incredible Jade Windscreen (Yu Ping Feng San).
I drink it in lieu of powdered vitamin C options (it’s far superior!), and simply add it to my water anytime I head out in public. Pack in your carry-on, drink before departure, and travel with the peace of mind that's been used to boost immunity for over 750 years. We constantly recommend this to all friends and family members.
Emotional Balance: vacations are as much a time for me to relax as they are to “reset” mentally – cue Xiao Yao San, the incredible formula behind Emotional Balance.
If you’re looking to supercharge your mind while away, helping you focus on a great book, reset some personal goals and priorities, or stay mentally present with your friends and family, this is the formula for you.
Digestive Harmony: who doesn’t like to overeat, drink and indulge while on vacation? Bao He Wan is the 8-herb formula that’s the inspiration to Digestive Harmony, a formula that we find provides digestive happiness when we’ve had a bit too much fun (or eaten too much…or enjoyed an extra glass of wine).
I typically sip on it after a big meal, or just before going to bed, giving my digestive system a big hug after I’ve pushed the envelope a bit too hard on the fun factor.
Easy to Pack, Easy to Consume
Looking to get started? Use code TCM15 at checkout to save 15% on any of the above formulas (and send us a DAO inspired selfie from the road!).
The beauty of all our formulas is the ease with which they can be consumed - and packed. I keep all three in my backpack at all times, and simply add to my water bottle when I’m on the go.
Chinese herbs typically require boiling and concentrating – imagine that while packing for a weekend at the beach. Rather picture yourself on the beach or on the slopes, maintaining your inner physical and mental balance by simply adding these powders to your water bottle – they’ve literally changed my life, but they are purposely easy to consume.
