The "Healing Sachet" Workshop

Activity description

Students are welcome to make good use of the various materials and classic formulas provided by the club to create scented sachets for calming the mind or repelling mosquitoes, tailored to their personal needs. Alternatively, they can let their creativity run wild by hand-picking their own ingredients, such as lavender, liquorice, jasmine, osmanthus, dried longan, or tangerine peel.

Activity highlight

In late January, the society hosted its first on-campus mental health activity, the "Healing Sachet" Workshop. The event aimed to help students create relaxing herbal sachets while fostering an awareness of self-care, successfully attracting 14 participants.

To prepare, committee members arranged over ten different types of spices and herbs on the tables, showcasing four recommended "recipes" for reference. Students began by picking up a cup and an empty sachet. They were then encouraged to take their time smelling each ingredient, selecting the scents that resonated most with them or helped them feel at ease before filling their sachets. Many students arrived in groups to participate. After completing their personalized sachets, participants spent time admiring and sharing their unique creations.

The student selected the perfect balance of lavender, jasmine, and osmanthus for a personalised scent bag.

Purpose behind this activity

Through the creation of these unique, handcrafted sachets, the society hoped to allow students to enjoy the tranquillity of floral scents and find a moment of relaxation amidst their busy academic lives.
