Mood Changes

changes in mood can be one of the most difficult changes to experience, and also one of the most challenging changes to treat. according to chinese medicine theory, periods of transition can cause disruptions, and possibly stagnations, in the circulation of energy and blood. these disrutions and stagnations can manifest as either physical or mental changes (or both), as chinese medicine does not seperate the mind, and its health & balance, from the body, and its health & balance.

as with all manifestations of imbalance, there are great degrees of variation with mood changes which sometimes accompany the transition of menopause. in my experience, a combination of therapy, or councelling, with chinese medicine treatment including acupuncture, diet & lifestyle, and in some cases chinese herbal medicine can create some really positive shifts in women experiencing this transition disharmony.

consistent with any person regardless of their gender or age, therapy which includes the use of behavior or mood-influencing medications should be discussed with the health care provider who prescribed those medications. it is not within my scope of practice to advise anyone to go off of their medications.

Lorna McFadden, DCH

I have been a certified dental assistant for the past 16 years. Over that time I have been interested in many of the healing arts. In 1993, I became a reflexologist and continued to study other forms of alternative health. My passion for Homeopathy began when I was treated by a homeopath in 1998. I really resonated with the philosophy and treatment of homeopathy. Only after a few consultations I knew I had to become involved and help heal others. With restored health and a great deal of energy, I am driven to study this wonderful healing art. I have successfully completed the first milestone in my homeopathic career by graduating from the Vancouver Homeopathic Academy. I hope to write my Certification of Classical Homeopathy in the next few years. I am a member of the West Coast Homeopathic Society and regularly attend study sessions to stay updated and educated. I also attend local trade shows and educate the public on Homeopathy. I am recently married and reside in Langley with two cats and a golden retriever named Montana. My animals are wonderful homeopathic patients.
