Chao Chen Pi (dry fried pericarpoim citri reticulatae)…45g

Fang Feng (radix ledebouriellae divaricatae)…30-60g

Indications: Liver overacting on Spleen causing deficiency, recurrent abdominal pain, borborygmus (seen as Wind in the abdomen, hence the use of Fang Feng which also directs the other herbs to the Liver and Spleen producing a direct affect on the diarrhea), painful diarrhea (the pain comes with the urge to go to the bathroom and subsides after the bowel movement), T- thin white coating (showing the diarrhea is not because of excess Damp), P- wiry thin.

It is believed by most that the condition of Spleen deficiency comes first, although the problem recurs during times of Liver Qi stagnation (due to stress or emotional/mental factors).

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.
