Feel Fabulous the Chinese Way! - Harvesting the Secrets of Health
For millennia the Chinese have studied the curative qualities of plants, passing on the knowledge from generation to generation. Traditional Chinese medicine shops offer herbs in the hundreds, for almost every imaginable medical condition. These cures speak volumes about the Chinese philosophy of food and health. Your winners will follow an experienced herbalist to tiny Cheung Chau Island, to find and pick a variety of fresh herbs. A Chinese herbalist will demonstrate how to brew the collected herbs into tea, after which your winners can taste the teas and gain some health benefits in addition to their insights into age-old medical practices.
