We’ve been testing something new in Minneapolis with our friends and guests at the Elixir Bar.
This summer, we’ve been sharing ear seeding, one more way to experience the practices and rituals of Traditional Chinese Medicine in everyday life. It’s been so much fun on many different levels.
And this Labor Day weekend, we’re bringing the experience to you.
Purchase any full-priced DAO formula and receive a complimentary Ear Seed Kit + Acupuncturist-written guide….everything you need to try them at home.
A little ritual for the changing season.
A little something from us to you.
Friday through Monday, while supplies last.

A little something new at the Elixir Bar.
Our house lemonades are now available in three flavors: Lemon, Pear Blossom and Mango.
Bright, refreshing and inspired by the way Traditional Chinese Medicine has long looked to foods, fruits and botanicals for their unique energetic qualities.
Lemon for its bright, cleansing character. Pear for its cooling, hydrating nature. Mango for a little sweetness and nourishment.
Three flavors. Three different personalities. All made for these last warm days of the season.
Now pouring at the D’AO Labs Elixir Bar - downtown Minneapolis this weekend.
Traditional botanicals have been prepared in many forms for generations. Today, formulas make it easier to bring those same herbal traditions into everyday life.
From ancient herbs to daily ritual.
Rituals, along the way.
The DAO Botanical Elixir Bar brings botanical tradition into everyday life- one drink, one stop, one moment at a time.
Find us near the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis.

Earth Element has arrived. As summer begins to shift, we enter a season centered around nourishment, grounding, and balance. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Earth is connected to the Spleen and Stomach and the emotion of worry or overthinking.
Four simple rituals to support your Earth Element:
-Eat something warm + nourishing
-Take a slow walk after a meal
-Ground your thoughts
-Herbal support for Spleen Qi
When Earth is in balance, we feel grounded, nourished, and steady.
When out of balance, digestion can feel sluggish, energy may dip, and our thoughts can start to spin.
Some days call for rest. Others ask for focus, balance, or a little extra support.
Inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine, our formulas are designed to become simple rituals you can return to each day.
What’s your ritual today?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, emotional well-being and physical well-being have always been deeply connected.
Emotional Balance draws from that tradition with a blend of Chinese herbs selected to support balance through everyday life.
Ancient wisdom. Daily ritual.
Minneapolis has great coffee shops.
We’ve created something different.
Botanical elixirs crafted with herbs, spices, and ingredients inspired by centuries of herbal tradition - made with intention, one drink at a time.
We’d love to make you your first drink. Find us next to the Stone Arch Bridge, Wednesday through Sunday.
See you soon.

Mental Tranquility is inspired by Gui Pi Tang (Return to Spleen) - a classic Chinese herbal formula traditionally used to quiet a busy mind and support deep, restorative sleep.
Rather than relying on a single ingredient, it brings together a carefully balanced blend of herbs used in harmony for generations.
Whether your challenge is a racing mind, waking throughout the night, or feeling anything but refreshed in the morning, Mental Tranquility was designed to help make restful sleep part of your daily rhythm.

What if wellness looked... slower?
Not another habit to track.
Not another notification.
Traditional Chinese Medicine reminds us that wellness isn’t always about adding more. It’s about creating space for what matters.
Ancient Wisdom.
One Ritual at a Time.
