Later the teachers posed questions about the five Chinese herbal medicine elements of the tea. After briefly introducing the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and conventional methods of diagnosis, the doctors led the foreign teachers to experience different ways of treatment. Foreign teachers, who had discomfort in their arms, neck, back and other parts of their bodies, were introduced to experience acupuncture and moxibustion and got miraculously better soon.
