Indications: This is the result of an acute sudden onset of Fire Toxin of the head (usually in children in winter or spring), most commonly caused by Wind/Heat. Characterized by powerful high fever and chills, red head and face with burning pain (these symptoms show the great strength of both the patient and the pathogenic invasion). Sore throat, dry mouth, lips and throat, thirst, T- red with yellow coat (if severe the tongue is said to take on a powdery white coating), P- floating rapid full and forceful.

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.
