HONG KONG, Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As Lunar New Year approaches, many households dive into their annual deep cleaning, hoping to start the year in a fresh, orderly environment. However, intensive cleaning in a short period—repeated bending, squatting, kneeling, or lifting, can quickly lead to stiff shoulders, sore backs, and general discomfort, sometimes to the point of spoiling holiday enjoyment. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, such discomfort often stems from "tendon-muscle strain" and "qi stagnation and blood stasis." With proper preparation, correct posture, and post-activity care, deep cleaning can become both eco-conscious and body-friendly.
Herbalgy's Three Essentials for "Wellness-Oriented Decluttering"
A Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner explains that repetitive bending, lifting, or pushing can overstrain local muscles and fascia, leading to tension and pain. Improper force may also disrupt the smooth flow of Qi and blood through the meridians, causing soreness, numbness, or swelling. Professor Wong Tin-Chee, founder of Herbalgy, adds: "TCM emphasizes addressing root causes and harmonizing Qi and blood. Pain is the body's signal, when flow is blocked, discomfort arises; when energy circulates freely, the body naturally heals."
To prevent injury and maximize wellness during cleaning, Herbalgy recommends following these three steps:
1. Warm-Up & Activate | Awaken Muscles, Prevent Strain
Spend 5 - 10 minutes on dynamic stretches, rotating wrists and ankles, gently moving the neck and shoulders, and mobilizing joints. A proper warm-up enhances muscle elasticity and flexibility, reducing the risk of sudden strains.
2. Master Your Posture | Work Smarter, Not Harder
- Rotate tasks every 30 minutes to avoid fatigue from static positions.
- Bend your knees instead of your waist: squat to pick up low items or clean floors, keeping the back straight and using leg strength to support your movements.
- Use a step stool for high surfaces: avoid overreaching or craning your neck.
- Keep heavy objects close and push or pull with your entire body, not just your arms or back.
3. Soothe & Recover | Relax Muscles, Release Fatigue
Recovery is crucial. After cleaning, apply a warm compress for 15 minutes to promote circulation. Gently acupressure points like Hegu (between thumb and index finger) and Weizhong (back of the knee) can relieve tension. For enhanced relief, integrate Herbalgy's targeted pain management products into your routine.

Sore Back After Pre-New Year Cleaning? Herbalgy's "Wellness Declutter" Method Shares 3 Tips to Sweep Away Pain for a Light, Energetic New Year
SHANGHAI, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As AI becomes essential in K–12 education, many teachers face a practical question: How to teach AI through hands-on, project-based learning without advanced coding skills?
A recent workshop in Kathmandu University offers a clear answer. Conducted by DFRobot, an innovator in STEAM education, the three-hour workshop at the School of Engineering brought together teachers and department heads from across disciplines. Participants completed two hands-on AI projects while exploring how to translate these experiences into their own classroom teaching.
From Awareness to Classroom Practice
According to the Computer Science Teachers Association, while most educators support AI in the curriculum, many lack confidence in teaching it effectively. This workshop directly addressed that gap—moving from awareness to practical implementation.
Learning AI Through Hands-On Building
The training adopted a face-to-face, project-based approach, combining technical learning with pedagogy. It focused on deploying AI capabilities—such as speech and vision—on edge devices, connecting abstract concepts to interactive classroom applications.
Using UNIHIKER K10 hardware and Mind+ graphical programming software, participants completed two progressive projects:
Voice Interaction
Using the UNIHIKER K10 and the Mind+ graphical programming platform software, the workshop introduced voice-based human–machine interaction as an accessible entry point into AI learning. Teachers began by creating a simple voice-controlled system with commands such as "turn on the light," experiencing a fundamental AI interaction loop: wake → recognize → execute.
Building on this foundation, they extended the system to control on-screen movement through voice directions, transforming a basic function into a more engaging and interactive experience. Rather than focusing on complex programming, the training emphasized how simple voice commands can be translated into practical classroom applications.
Through this process, teachers gained a clear understanding of real-time voice interaction and its classroom potential.
Vision Interaction
The workshop introduced the HUSKYLENS AI vision sensor and its face recognition capabilities, helping teachers understand how machines perceive the world through visual data. Trainers explained the core workflow of face recognition—including detection, alignment, encoding, and matching—providing a clear technical framework for classroom application. Building on this foundation, teachers connected HUSKYLENS with the Mind+ programming environment and implemented real-time recognition tasks. Extending this approach, they developed a "Smart Pet" system by integrating HUSKYLENS with the UNIHIKER K10. The system could recognize different types of cats—such as Orange Tabby, Striped Tabby, and Siamese—and respond with corresponding interactive states.
Through this hands-on process, teachers gained a clear understanding of computer vision concepts and how visual input can drive interactive systems, enabling more engaging and project-based learning in the classroom.
A Model That Can Be Applied in AI Classrooms
The workshop highlights a practical approach to AI education that can be replicated across schools:
Accessible: Entry-level coding is all that's needed — suitable for K–12 learners.
Adaptable: Projects can be transformed into games, smart systems, or classroom tools
Structured: Aligned with project-based learning and real-world problem-solving
As part of the assessment, each teacher was asked to outline how the projects could be adapted for their own classrooms—highlighting a core objective of the training: not just using tools, but enabling curriculum design and effective knowledge transfer.
More importantly, it emphasized a critical shift—from understanding AI to applying it. By experiencing the full creation process, teachers gained the confidence to bring AI into their own classrooms.
