#01 What is Tonic Herbalism? with Tahnee McCrossin

Today at SuperFeast headquarters, Mason and Tahnee talk all things Daoist (Taoist) tonic herbalism. What the heck is Daoism? Don’t worry, by the end of this discussion, you’ll be all over this ancient philosophy (especially when it comes to herbal practice!). SuperFeast prides itself on respecting the ancient tradition of tonic herbalism that emerged through the Orient, respecting the ancient wisdom from those before us. Mason and Tahnee dive deep into how the ancient tonic herbalists lived and how we, the modern human, can learn and incorporate these practices into our daily lifestyles. Exactly how does our current Western lifestyle affect us? The lifestyle which disturbs our circadian rhythms and promotes us being out of flow with the natural cycles of nature? Short answer - degeneration and ageing; we’re here to change that. Listen to join us on this mission.

 

In this episode you will learn:

- Daoist tonic herb philosophy. - What Qi is and how it animates you. - Transformation through these herbs. - Macrocosm vs microcosm of herbalism. - Why an adaptable mind allows for epic health. - Why longevity isn’t an overnight phenomenon. - The formula for good Qi flowing through the body. - Why women should have as much sex as they like. - How to prevent having “flabby” immune systems. - How to become a ‘somanaut’ through the tonic herbs. - Why separation from nature is the root cause of illness. - Why we’re dropping reishi bombs of consciousness around the world. - Tonic herbs are multi-directional and their benefits accumulate over time. - One of the missing links in Western philosophy, the energetics of herbs. - Why we search for the path of least resistance in health and herbal practice. - We provide good quality, epic, non-irradiated wild herbs - based on Di Dao (Di Tao) principles. - Quick overview of the three treasures Qi, Jing and Shen - more in future episodes!
