Traditional Chinese Medicine Health Seminar

The Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong (THEi) successfully held a seminar on Chinese medicine and emotional health on October 25. With the support of the Caritas School Social Work Service, the event attracted students from various secondary schools and the atmosphere was lively.

During the event, Dr. Au Ching-tung, Programme Leader of the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Chinese Medicinal Pharmacy at THEi, gave the students a lively demonstration of the“four diagnostic methods”(望聞問切), explaining in simple terms how Chinese medicine views emotional problems and introducing corresponding health maintenance methods. Dr. Au also demonstrated acupressure techniques on the spot, and shared the application of herbal tea and health-preserving qigong, so that the students could experience the practicality and effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine for themselves.

Through this seminar, students not only deepened their understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, but also learned effective ways to reduce stress and cope with the emotional challenges brought on by stress such as exams.
