We are happy to announce a special Earth Day event on Tuesday, April 22nd. Join us for a beautiful ceremony in collaboration with Kai Healing, led by Sandra Gil, an esteemed acupuncturist and shamanic healer from Peru.
The evening will include a sound healing journey, a brief five-point acupuncture protocol for grounding, and herbal tea to set the mood. The ceremony will honor the wood element in Chinese medicine, symbolizing rebirth and new beginnings.
Doors open at 6 PM, and the ceremony runs from 6:30 to 8 PM. We encourage everyone to arrive early to fully immerse themselves in this transformative experience.
Celebrating Spring: Growth and Renewal in East-Asian Medicine
In East-Asian medicine, the essence of spring is represented by growth, renewal, and flexibility. Associated with the liver and gallbladder, it promotes the smooth flow of energy and emotions. Spring is a time of new beginnings, planning, and envisioning the future. It encourages growth, movement, and transformation, making it the perfect theme for our Earth Day celebration.
Herbal Spotlight: Gynostemma
As part of this seasonal reset, we’re highlighting Gynostemma, one of our favorite adaptogenic herbs. Known as "Southern Ginseng" or jiaogulan, this resilient vine has long been treasured in East Asian herbal traditions for its ability to restore balance and promote longevity.
Works much like other powerful adaptogens such as ginseng, reishi, schisandra, cordyceps, and astragalus—helping the body adapt to stress, regulate energy levels, and maintain equilibrium.
It supports respiratory health, digestive ease, mental clarity, and sexual vitality, while offering a gentle calming effect on the nervous system. Its anti-fatigue properties make it an ideal ally for those who feel depleted or overstimulated.
We carry a variety of Gynostemma products at Dao Del Mar, including tinctures, tea bags, and loose dried leaves. All are sourced with great care and made using high-quality extraction methods to ensure potency and purity.
