We begin in our beautifully renovated community space, where you can explore 12 meters of vibrant murals and the beautifully curated displays showcasing a rich tapestry of historical, reference, and medical examples of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
We deliver an introductory talk on the cultural and historical significance of acupuncture and TCM, supported by our interactive displays and informative videos. This interactive experience offers valuable insight into how TCM promotes balance, harmony and well-being.
We then give a talk on what TCM encompasses, such as accupuncture, cupping, tongue diagnosis, herbal medicine etc and how the TCM approach to wellness is that “prevention is more important than cure”.
We visit our on-site clinic and explore the gardens, including the herbal garden. We have QR codes which you can use your phone to explore the TCM healing properties of the plants, or just enjoy listening to our experienced experts share some practical knowledge on how you can incorporate these natural ingredients in cooking and herbal teas.
A presentation is given on Chinese tea culture and you can see how Chinese tea is traditionally brewed and what types of tea are used.
