The workshops aimed to introduce students to the characteristics of medicinal plants and how to use the plants for primary healthcare. Herbal inhalants, commonly known as Yadom, have grown in popularity among teenagers. As a result, Yadom was employed as a medicinal plant learning medium. Students learnt about the properties of herbal components of inhalants based on traditional Thai medicine recipes and then created their own herbal inhalant. Yadom offers a number of advantages, including the ability to open the nasal passages and provide a pleasant experience. It is also believed to help fight fatigue, stay alert, refreshed, and energized. It does, however, have some drawbacks, including nose irritation. Students also learned how to properly employ the herbal inhalants. |

The botanical garden of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Srinakharinwirot University is a medicinal plants conservation area established in partnership with the Agricultural Land Reform Office and the Land Development Office. It is located in Banna district, Nakonnayok province, and covers an area of approximately 3.7 hectares. The garden serves as a recreation area for the community and offers workshops on how to appropriately use herbs and herbal products. The workshops provide information on the medicinal plants used in the community, as well as their safety and efficacy. Herb processing, such as drying, chopping, and storage, is also emphasized as a means of preserving herb quality. The garden encourages the community to grow herbs for primary health care in their backyard.
To encourage lifelong learning, the botanical garden has provided a number of learning resources. We've created a Facebook page and a website to distribute our reading materials and short video clips. To provide learning opportunities, the botanical garden hosts workshops on a regular basis that are open to anybody interested in learning about the usage of herbs and medicinal plants. In order to encourage young people to learn about traditional Thai medicine, the botanical garden has also organized a special session for school students.
Herbal inhalants can be made using a variety of herbs and essential oils. Students can learn about the benefits of different herbs and essential oils, as well as how to create their own inhalant recipes. Creating an herbal inhalant recipe can also teach students about the importance of quality of herbs that are used as raw materials and the importance of safety when working with essential oils. The activity promotes a positive attitude towards traditional herbal remedies, which can lead to the use of herbal medicine for primary care.
