Ancient acupuncture with modern tools.
Recently, I had a patient come in as a referral from her OBGYN. She was 35 weeks pregnant and her baby was “Frank Breech.” Her doctor told her that she would probably have to have a c-section, but that she might consider seeing an acupuncturist first. She asked her doctor... Read more
So yesterday I posted a graph of a 37-year-old female patient, who was complaining of low back pain, abdominal bloating and constipation, poor digestion and exhaustion. She felt terrible, but her graph was practically perfect. If you didn’t see it yet, you can find it here. When I posted the... Read more
I graphed a patient a few days ago. 37 year-old female, thin build, complaining of low back pain, abdominal bloating and discomfort, poor digestion, constipation, and overall exhaustion. Here’s her graph. It looks great, yet she is really suffering and feeling quite ill. How would you explain it? More importantly,... Read more
I have come to the realization that almost everyone who comes in for treatment has some sort of neck and/or shoulder tension–whether they are complaining of pain or not. Also, patients who have a lot of stress and anxiety (and of course the neck and shoulder tension that goes with... Read more
I have had the AcuGraph for almost 4 weeks now, and am totally blown away! I got the system two days before a big health fair. The system was super simple to set up. I was able to get it working in minutes. I have a busy practice and only... Read more
AcuGraph is filled with some really great little jewels that make my job easier as an acupuncturist. I thought that today I would share a few of my favorites. #1: Click the split. Did you realize that if you click on a channel in the graph, a picture comes up... Read more
Talk about an AMAZING herbal formula that treats a large realm of symptoms. Can you find any “one” prescription in Western medicine that can treat both DEPRESSION and/or HEMORRHOIDS? How is this possible? In Chinese medicine we do not treat the symptom—but instead, we treat the imbalance causing the symptom... Read more
Alternative medicine is a big buzz word that I hear often in the medical community, meaning “any type of healing” that does not fall into the same realm as “conventional medicine,” and is used instead of standard medical care. Complementary medicine, on the other hand, means that you are using... Read more
You may be wondering—are there really hidden features of AcuGraph? Well, today I’d like to discuss a few awesome features that are not really hidden, but it seems are not used as often as they could be. We frequently hear from AcuGraph customers with questions about how to do certain... Read more
Multiple Sclerosis and Acupuncture Are you aware that acupuncture is a great resource for patients who suffer from the Western diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS)? Research has shown that Chinese medicine can keep MS patients in remission longer and slow this condition’s progress.[1] While Chinese medicine cannot cure MS completely,... Read more
It’s that time of the year. Everyone is asking me if Chinese Medicine can help with weight loss. My answer is always: “Yes, we can help you, IF you are willing to help yourself also!” Acupuncture can help promote digestion, curb appetite, and deal with emotional eating. Typically patients who...

Who needs more tools in their toolbox??? I use AcuGraph with every patient that comes into my office. As an acupuncturist with a TCM background, I find value in using pattern diagnosis as a tool in my own practice. I have also found that adding Chinese herbs helps patients get... Read more
A year ago I was a brand new acupuncturist, just getting settled in a new area and starting my practice. An ad for an acupuncture research position at Miridia Technology caught my eye, and that’s how I came to learn about the AcuGraph system. I’ve been working for Miridia Technology for... Read more
I’m sure you’ve heard a picture is worth a thousand words. And I’m sure you know why. Even a lengthy description can’t convey the same information as precisely and quickly as a single picture. Imagine trying to describe a sunset, a sports play, your home or a new baby using... Read more
Hi Everyone, If you’ve launched AcuGraph today, you’ve probably noticed there’s an update available. (One kind user even telephoned me this morning to let me know!)
