Dr. Tian
PhD from the Sahlgrenska Academy and fourth-generation TCM practitioner
Dr. Fei Tian has more than 40 years of experience in both traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and conventional medicine, a combination known in China as integrative medicine.
As a fourth-generation TCM practitioner, she brings her family’s long tradition together with modern knowledge. From 1985 to 2000 she worked as a doctor at university hospitals in China.
She has extensive experience of treating pain, stress, migraine and infertility, as well as complex, long-standing conditions, including eye conditions.
In 2008 she completed her PhD in cardiovascular research at the Sahlgrenska Academy. Many patients turn to her when conventional care has not given them enough relief.
“For me, TCM is more than a profession. It is a family tradition going back four generations.”

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) takes a holistic view of health
TCM is a medical system with several thousand years of history. It complements conventional medicine with its own way of understanding health and illness.
The whole person
TCM sees body, mind and lifestyle as parts of one system. Sleep, digestion, stress and pain are assessed together.
The cause behind the symptoms
The aim is to find the imbalance that may lie behind your symptoms. Treatment addresses both the underlying cause and the symptoms you experience.
A personal diagnosis
Dr. Tian takes your pulse and looks at your tongue. Two people with the same complaint may therefore receive different treatments.
Why might it help? According to TCM, treatment helps Qi flow freely again. Research suggests that acupuncture affects the nervous system and how pain signals are transmitted.
