Monthly check-ins + adjustments
Each month, you complete a brief symptom check-in survey. Your herbalist reviews your progress and adjusts your formula if needed with no appointment required. Video calls are available when something warrants a deeper conversation.

A formula built for your body, not a shelf
Every Daodi formula is mixed from individual botanical ingredients — not a pre-blended capsule or a standardized extract. Your herbalist selects each herb based on your specific TCM pattern, adjusting ratios to match the severity of your symptoms and your body's constitution.
Formulas ship as pharmaceutical-grade granules: concentrated herbal powder you dissolve in hot water once or twice daily. No pills to count. No decoctions to brew from scratch. Just a warm, customized tea prepared in under a minute.
