Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic in Waterloo
Prof. YiFang Tian, Professor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, comes from Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in the southwest of China. She graduated from Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) after eight years of full-time studies. For the first five years she was enrolled in general TCM and Acupuncture as well as Western Medical Sciences. This was followed by another three years of postgraduate studies for the special TCM field “Jin Gui Yao Lue”, integrating basic TCM theory with clinical practices.
Chengdu University is one of the oldest TCM universities (founded in 1956) and is ranked by the World Health Organization among the front four of about 30 TCM universities in China. The strongest academic fields of this university are:
-
Research on eight extraordinary meridians, called “Ji-jin-ba-mais”. In 1958, Chairman Mao interviewed and praised the university’s Vice-President Professor Dr. Wu Tiao Xian for his contributions on this subject.
-
“The Chinese Herbology Textbook” (The Province of Sichuan grows about 2/3 of the total 10,000 Chinese herbs)
-
“The Principles of Prescribing Chinese Herbal Formulas”
-
“The Ophthalmology of TCM” (disease of the eyes)
-
“The Disease of the Colon”
-
“TCM Documents Research”
-
The classic “Jin Gui Yao Lue”, which is a guiding reference book about how to integrate basic TCM theory with clinical observation to make treatment strategies. This book is the bible for TCM. It was written 2,000 years ago by one of the greatest TCM doctors in history, Dr. Zhang Zhongjing, during the Han Dynasty.
-
TCM and Acupuncture doctors for Chairman Mao and other ministers were often chosen from this university. Among them were the former President Li Shizhen and Professor Li Zhong-yu, well known for their high healing skills.
Prof. Tian was a Supervisor at the teaching hospital and an Assistant Professor in the Internal Medicine Department of Chengdu University before she went abroad.
In 1989, Prof. Tian went to Switzerland, where she successfully completed a postgraduate medical study in Rheumatology, which deepened her understanding on the pathogenic mechanism of rheumatic arthritis.
In late 1989, Prof. Tian received a postgraduate scholarship from the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to come to Canada. At the University of Guelph in the Department of Microbiology, she studied and did research on anti-idiotype antibodies for two and a half years and successfully completed her thesis: “Production and characterization of anti-idiotype antibodies as a potential vaccine against pseudomonas aeruginosa”. She obtained a Master of Science degree from the University of Guelph in May 1992.
During her studies she observed that many people suffered from chronic illnesses which were not cured by antibiotics or surgery. By her experience, most of these kinds of illnesses can be helped by acupuncture and herbal remedies. Therefore in June 1992, Prof. Tian opened her “Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic” in Guelph. In March 1993, she established a second clinic in Waterloo. Her Waterloo clinic is one of the oldest acupuncture clinics in the Golden Triangle. For more than 20 years Prof. Tian has helped many people suffering from different kinds of illnesses. Her patients often come with the whole family, three or even four generations. Quite a few of her patients work in health care related fields themselves as General Practitioners (GPs), Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Dentists, etc. Prof. Tian's principles and philosophy are: Highest professional standards and care and respect for the patients. Her goal is to obtain at least 95% of success in helping her patients’ satisfaction beyond expectations.
Prof. Tian was a board member and is now an advisor of the Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Association of Canada (CMAAC). She also served as general secretary and was a member of the Education Committee.

Xuanyuan Auricular Acupuncture and Clinical Applications
by Yifang Tian
This book introduces the complete Xuanyuan auricular Jingluo system and the 50-meridian differentiation pattern. This pattern enables practitioners to differentiate, and then utilize, 50 meridians in their clinical practice, augmenting the 14-meridian pattern that has been used since the Yuan dynasty. Throughout the book, the author has created the images of the Xuanyuan auricular Jingluo system, illustrating the origin of meridians in the ear, the direction of the energy flow of meridians, and the connection between the ear and macro (body) meridians. Included are images of the big Collateral of the Spleen, the Jiaji Mai, the Chong Mai, and the Collaterals of Du Mai, Ying-qi, and Wei-qi, which have never before been delineated. The clinical applications for various illness and disorders, as well as challenging problems facing modern patients, are explained in Chapters 3 and 4, with step-by-step guidelines to master the clinical approach and treatment. In summary, this book represents an innovative development in Traditional Chinese Medicine and in the Jingluo system as outlined in the classic texts of the Nei Jing and Nan Jing.
