She picks up valuable knowledge and insights along the way. This garden has the largest collection of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs in Europe.<br>The herbs are arranged according to their traditional use. What does tea do in the human body? How about that Japanese knotweed in a container? Which plants calm the mind or help blood to move? How can we use herbs to tackle the problem of drug resistance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>In fact, Chinese medicine is a process similar to gardening,<br>where you try to provide the correct balance of yin and yang!<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chinese medicine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The principles of Chinese medicine were laid down 3,000 years ago through close observation of symptoms and diseases in different seasons and climates. These symptoms are summed up in the ancient symbols yin and yang.<br>The Chinese doctor uses the patient\u2019s symptoms to determine the constitution of his patient. Some herbs correct deficiencies, others are used as power to reduce excesses in the body. In fact, it\u2019s a process similar to gardening, where you try to provide the correct balance of yin and yang!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chinese Medicinal Herb Garden

Met mijn collega run ik ViatriX, een advies- en trainingsbedrijf in communicatie &amp; marketing. Op mijn lijstje prijken ook certificaten in Cambridge B2 (Engels), natuureducatie, permacultuur en podcasten. Op het lesprogramma van de Volksuniversiteit Den Bosch kan je ook mijn cursus 'Engels voor beginners' tegenkomen. Ik heb daarnaast lezingen en een cursus 'Natuurtuinieren' ontwikkeld. Ik ben (actief) lid van Velt, IVN, Groei &amp; Bloei, RHS en andere groene organisaties. Je kunt me geregeld zien tuinieren, in mijn 500 m2 grote Bossche stadsoasis.
