Workshops and Talks on Traditional Chinese Medicine

Our Form 3 and Form 4 students participated in a series of engaging workshops and lectures as part of the "One School One Traditional Medicine Garden" programme organized by THEi. They learned about traditional herbal remedies in a lecture on herbal ointments and had hands-on experience creating Ziyun Ointment. In another session, students explored the cultivation of Chinese herbs and made their own herbal soap. Additionally, they delved into the benefits of herbal planting while crafting the famous Liuwei Dihuang Pill. These activities enriched their knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and fostered their appreciation for herbal practices in our community.
