Abstract

Holistic nursing Nurse patient relationships Nurses Tea
Here, Donnelly says it is a tradition in many cultures to serve warm beverages when someone is in distress. Tea was first used as a medicine in 18th-century China and later as a beverage. Teaism, a philosophy, developed in Japan in the 15th century, emphasized "purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order, a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing people know as life." Nurses can act as tea master transforming their office into a place of comfort and simple humanity in the service of their colleagues.
