Practitioners Corner: December Spotlight, Haihe Tian, Ph.D., A.P
I started my training back in 1982 at one of the top medical schools in China, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine where I studied both Chinese medicine and Western medicine for 6 years. I continued my Master and Doctoral programs by following Dr Dong,
Jian-hua, the most famous TCM gastroenterology expert in China. I moved to the U.S. in early 1997 and have been practicing and teaching acupuncture and Chinese medicine for over 21 years at my clinic, Chinese Acupuncture & Herbs Center.
Jian-hua, the most famous TCM gastroenterology expert in China. I moved to the U.S. in early 1997 and have been practicing and teaching acupuncture and Chinese medicine for over 21 years at my clinic, Chinese Acupuncture & Herbs Center.My teacher was the top TCM expert in China, specializing in G.I. diseases, and I learned a lot from him. I also practiced western medicine and performed endoscopes to see underline physical and pathological changes inside the GI tract, further developing the G.I. specialty for myself. There are about 30,000 licensed acupuncturists in America now treating common health problems, such as pain, so I think it’s important to build practitioners’ own specialty to distinguish themselves from other practitioners. I found that G.I. conditions are very well indicated with acupuncture and herbal medicine, because patients with G.I. issues can get excellent results from using acupuncture and Chinese herbs.
I recently started working with TCMzone as the formulator for their new TCMCeuticals digestive health product line. I combined both my teacher’s more than 60 years’ and my own 20 plus years US practice experience to create these 3 formulas suitable for American’s gastrointestinal health. I know that I can only help a limited number of clients in my clinic, but now practitioners can access my formulas and use them to help more clients. I recommend all 3 formulas and have many exciting stories that I will gladly share in future blog posts and webinars.
