Pond Island – Local plants & herbs medicines and how they can be used for various ailments and conditions were the center of some interesting interactions between herbal expert, Dr. Tasheena Maccow-Thomas and TelEm Group staffers during a recently held information session.

Staff heard all about the benefits of natural herbs and plants and spices that can be found on St. Maarten – some in their own back yards.

The information was provided by Dr. Maccow-Thomas as a representative of the Tee-ZAN Health and Wellness Center on St. Maarten, which specializes in the use of locally-grown herbs and spices aimed at creating a better living and a healthier lifestyle for clients.

Dr. Maccow-Thomas was invited to provide health-based information to TelEm Group staff in three separate sessions on the initiative of the Human Resources & Development Department, whose staff also attended the sessions. The sessions were focused using plants and herbs to detox and its benefits.

During the session a collection of herbs were introduced to the staff where keen interest and dialog was sparkled. Staff provided positive feedback on the sessions and indicated that they were pleased and acquired valuable knowledge that they would apply to their own lifestyles.
