園藝治療國際研討會5th International Horticulture Therapy Conference

323日至 24日園藝治療國際研討會
地點:台北亞東醫院
執行概況:
這次研討會的主題是綠色照護與身心靈健康,聽了來自世界各地的專家演講之後,才知道接近大自然不僅是世界的趨勢,有些國家甚至開始利用自然環境維護國民的身心健康,進而降低社會醫療成本。來自國內各醫療院所的治療師則與大家分享目前園藝治療在台灣的進展與成效。為了讓園藝治療能夠成為正式的輔助醫療,大家熱烈討論如何將治療成果化為可評量的結果。
園藝治療工作坊中,黃盛璘老師介紹了適合台灣環境的植物-青草藥,強調文化與民俗在園藝治療中的重要性。看來我選擇客家民族植物,也是一種方法。

It's amazing how much plants can bring into our life.


In the workshop, we learned about 10 herbs commonly used by Taiwanese and used mugwort in different activities. Here we made bathing bags with leaves.





 Decorated our package with leaf printing. This reminded me of childhood.


 Make mugwort sticks with mugwort floss. We will burn it to repel mosquitoes. 

 Mugworts are tough and believed to bring strong energy to people. We took off all the leaves before replanting. My young friend from Mongolia was showing her creativity.
