I would like to start offering tours of herb shops to my clients and their friends, and family.
During my visits to herb shops in Chinatown, I have noticed the confused looks on the faces of non-Chinese people milling about that part of the city. I understand that all of these strange looking barks, fungi, roots and seeds can be intriguing, but there is often a language barrier there.
I would like to offer for you to be able to schedule a time with me to go down to a shop or two together, so we can look around the shop, discuss the herbs and their uses as well as maybe talk to some of the shop owners or local herbalists through my translation if necessary. I would like for groups to be no smaller than 2 and no bigger than 5 or 6.
You can learn about many different herbs and supplements, how you can use them to treat common illnesses such as stomach aches, back pain, or colds and flus. You may also learn about some new dishes and ingredients for cooking.
Afterwards, we could visit a local Chinese bakery for steamed buns and Hong Kong milk tea, a personal favourite
This service will be offered on a donation basis. A large portion of the proceeds from this will go towards Barefoot Doctor projects. You can read more about these in some of my other blog posts or under the ‘Outreach Projects’ tab.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions around this, or would like to book a time.
