The “Healing Pot" event, organized in collaboration with Bezmialem Vakıf University and Fatih Municipality, brought the healing power of plants together with participants.
Held at the Fındıkzade Çukurbostan Life Center within the scope of the FitFatih Project carried out by the Fatih Municipality Women and Family Unit, the “Healing Pot" event approached the therapeutic effects of nature from a scientific perspective. In the program, which featured Research Assistant Dr. Ebrar İnal Kılıçarslan from our University's Faculty of Pharmacy as the speaker, important information was shared on the proper and safe use of herbal products.
The event covered a wide range of topics—from the preparation of herbal teas to their correct usage. Experts informed participants about which plants can be used as supportive remedies in various situations, as well as the importance of brewing times and blend ratios. In the practical session, hands-on examples were demonstrated using herbs such as sage, lemon balm, chamomile, fennel, and lavender.
One of the most engaging parts of the program was the interactive workshop, where participants prepared their own herbal tea blends. Participants created their own “healing pot" mixtures during this session.
Aligned with Bezmialem Vakıf University's vision of “healing through science," the event also stood out for its contribution to community-oriented projects focused on health, awareness, and informed well-being. Drawing significant interest from attendees, “Healing Pot" concluded as an enjoyable gathering reminding everyone that herbs are not only beverages but also an enduring element of cultural life.
