Research on the Development of a Healing Program Using Tea

Recently, investment in healing agriculture has been increasing in European countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium, which are advanced agricultural countries. In Korea, interest in healing agriculture and research are actively being conducted centered on the Rural Development Administration to reduce social costs and promote sustainable growth of agriculture and rural areas by creating new ways of living and sources of income in rural areas. However, although there are many papers on healing programs using tea, it is difficult to find ones developed based on healing agriculture. Therefore, this paper developed a tea healing program based on healing agriculture and applied it in practice. The scope of this paper is, first, as healing agriculture services, farm work and various activities. Second, as healing agriculture resources, tea trees (scientific name: Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) were covered among plant resources, tea was covered among food (beverage) resources, tea gardens were covered among rural environmental resources, and tea culture was covered among rural cultural resources. Third, the purpose type of the healing agricultural service was prevention, and among the targets of the prevention type, adults were included. Fourth, the facility type was farm-type, and the farm type was healing farm. The research results of this paper are as follows: First, a healing program using tea was developed for 8 sessions. Second, a healing program using tea flowers was developed and applied in practice, and the elements of healing could be found through the subjects’ writings through sharing their impressions. In sharing their impressions of the application case of the research program, the participants felt happiness and wonder from the excitement they felt from tea flowers and tea flower tea, and the lingering taste and fragrance of tea flower tea, and they recalled their old lives. Through this, it is thought that everything about tea, that is, tea, tea trees, tea gardens, and tea culture, can be utilized as a healing program. Therefore, in the future, continuous and diverse healing programs using tea are required, and various methods for measuring the healing effect should be studied.
