Beyond the Brew: Tea as Traditional Chinese Medicine

Tea can be far more than a daily comfort—it can also serve as a gentle form of support for the body and mind. In this session, Dr. Gudrun Wu Snyder, founder of Moon Rabbit Acupuncture, will introduce the Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective on tea, showing how it is understood through temperature, energetics, and its relationship to specific organs rather than simply taste or caffeine content.

Participants will explore how different teas are used in clinical settings to address common wellness concerns, from cooling chrysanthemum to digestive Pu-Erh. The conversation offers a practical and insightful look at how ancient healing traditions can inform modern routines. Whether you are deeply interested in tea or simply curious about holistic wellness, this session invites you to experience your cup in a new way and leave with a richer understanding of its therapeutic potential.
