[Wed 8/26, 6:30-8pm] Join us for a seasonal ritual with herbal tea, soup, ear-seeding and self-massage. It’s been a full year of TCM wellness workshops with Kamwo and we’re so thrilled to bring back another workshop as we soak in summer and slowly transition to autumn.
The evening will begin with a soothing welcome tea. Kamwo will provide ear seeding for all participants. (Ear seeding is a gentle wellness practice where small seeds are placed on points of the ear to support breathing, immunity, and relaxation.) Acupuncturist and herbalist, Olivia Choi will talk about the changing seasons from summer to autumn. We’ll serve a debloating herbal soup with wintermelon, and provide a show & tell on different culinary-grade herbs and medicinal-grade herbs (which must be carefully prescribed and formulated for specific uses before consuming).
This program is part of Think!Chinatown’s ongoing partnership with Kamwo Meridian Herbs, a neighborhood institution preserving traditional Chinese medicine and wellness practices.
