Since students are currently preparing for final exams, Dr. Shang also taught them how to make herbal sachets. Students were able to choose between a sachet for relaxation and a sachet for energy. This hands-on activity gave students a meaningful opportunity to learn about Chinese medicine while also creating something useful for their own well-being.
