Food as Medicine: A Traditional Chinese Medicine Workshop

Discover how ‘Food as Medicine’ applies daily, maximizing nutrients and benefits from everyday ingredients!To encourage cross-cultural exchange through food, Tung Wah College and Inter Cultural Education are co-organizing a “Food as Medicine: A Traditional Chinese Medicine Workshop”. This event, conducted in English and open to all, warmly welcomes participants from every background — including Hong Kong’s ethnic minority communities who may be curious about Chinese medicine and would like to explore new ways of practicing a healthier diet. Together, we will explore the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, fostering mutual understanding and a stronger sense of community across cultures.The workshop features a talk and a Five Flavors Tasting activity. The talk will introduce the basic theories of TCM, principles of nourishment and balance, and how food therapy can be applied in everyday life. Participants will also join a Five Flavors Tasting activity, sampling wellness teas that each represent one of the five key flavors in Traditional Chinese Medicine theory — sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, and salty. Through this sensory experience, participants will discover how the concept of “Food as Medicine” can be practiced day to day, learning ways to draw out the greatest benefits and nutrients from the ingredients we use in our daily meals.日期 Date: Saturday, 6 December 2025時間 Time: 11:00 - 13:00地點 Venue: Room 401 & 402, 4/F, Tung Wah College Tsim Sha Tsui Campus (TSTC), 136A, Nathan Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong (directions)費用 Fee: FREE語言Language: EnglishPlease note:We will be in touch with you through email or WhatsApp regarding any latest updates regarding the event.Disclaimer: Any opinions, research, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material/event (or by the grantee) do not reflect the views or opinions of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Health Bureau, the Advisory Committee on Chinese Medicine Development Fund, the Implementation Agent of the Chinese Medicine Development Fund or the Hong Kong Productivity Council._________________By registering for our events on Eventbrite, you agree to our privacy policy (https://icehongkong.com/privacy), and that your personal information will go to our newsletter system, Mailerlite, from which you will receive our newsletters from now on.
