What is DaoDai?
DaoDi is the ancient Chinese philosophy that centers on the authentic sourcing of mushrooms and tonic herbs from their native and pristine environments. For Daoists, the concept of ‘Dao’ acts as a lens – allowing you to explore the intricate relationship between humanity and natural world. “Dao Di” pertains to the specific district where the mushrooms /herbs are cultivated, with ‘Di’ underscoring the critical role of the soil and land where these mushrooms flourish.
The DaoDi concept has its roots in thousands of years of clinical practice within Traditional Chinese Medicine and offers a comprehensive standard for distinguishing and regulating the quality of medicinal mushrooms and herbs. In the realm of Traditional Chinese Medicine, specific locations have been meticulously identified as the most coveted sources for individual herbs and mushrooms – making them renowned for their medicinal density and potent efficiency.
Every year members of our team explore deep into the forest of these regions to find the purest wild mushroom strains. Once forged, they are sent for DNA testing to confirm their authenticity. This is one of many aspects of our process that allows us to guarantee Syner’Qi delivers the highest quality mushroom extract compound directly from Mother Nature herself. Lastly, it is important to note that DaoDi herbs can still encounter non-organic contaminants during the farming or extraction process. Unlike organic, DaoDi mushrooms do not undergo formal quality audits. However, Qi to Life’s Syner’Qi is proud to hold dual certifications encompassing both DaoDi and organic standards: USDA Certified and EU Certified. This dual certification has enabled us to establish a quality benchmark few other companies can match.
