Ancient acupuncture with modern tools.
From Humble Beginnings Today is a day of humble reflection as I remember the story of Miridia Technology. When this company began over 15 years ago, it had a single employee—who didn’t even know that he was an employee (yet). I was still a student and had just been introduced to Ryodoraku acupuncture. I loved the idea of objective evidence of Qi balance, but I noticed a gap—something was missing. The pencil-and-paper approach I was taught... Read more
In my last blog post I talked about some exciting NEW changes in auriculotherapy technology. If you haven’t read part 1 of this series, you can access it here: Part 1: The Pointoselect Digital: My New Favorite Auriculotherapy Tool Before I talk more about the Pointoselect Digital, I feel the need to write a tribute letter to the Stimplus Pro. Dear Stimplus Pro, Some things have changed in my life, but I need you to know... Read more
Some things have changed in my clinic for the BETTER. Does it mean that things were BAD before? Absolutely not. I did the best I could, given the resources I had at the time… Then I did better, because I could! You’ve heard people use the old adage “back in my day”. I use it all the time with my kids! We never flew on airplanes. Our vacations involved a road trip, an ice chest, and... Read more
Pain is the number one chief complaint in any acupuncture clinic. Why is that? There is a traditional Chinese saying which states: “If there is free flow, there is no pain. If there is pain, there is no free flow.” Free flow relates to movement of qi and blood, which move together. If qi and blood are not moving at optimum capacity, symptoms occur. Pain is an obvious side effect of qi and blood stagnation.... Read more
The 3-Level Acupuncture Protocol balances the Primary Channels (to regulate circulation of qi and blood), the Eight Extraordinary Channels (to regulate the musculoskeletal body), and the Divergent Channels (to regulate the internal zang-fu organs).

I’ve heard Amsterdam is LOVELY in September. And I’d like to see you there! Let me explain what I mean ? For the past couple years, Dr. Adrian Larsen, creator of AcuGraph, has travelled to Amsterdam to teach an AcuGraph seminar, hosted by our friend, and colleague of Tal Tao Acupuncture, Chantal van Merode. But this year, for a change, I’m going to be teaching, and I couldn’t be more excited! We have quite a few practitioners... Read more
This blog post contains important of information. Please read the entire post to fully understand the changes incorporated into AcuGraph. As data privacy has become increasingly important, new government regulations concerning patient data protection have mandated changes in the AcuGraph software. Perhaps you’ve heard of the European Union’s new GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), as well as updates to U.S. HIPAA regulations concerning electronic communication with patients. We worked hard for weeks to ensure AcuGraph was in... Read more
I get asked all the time: “What if I need AcuGraph in more than one treatment room?” And it’s a great question! So many practitioners run multiple rooms at the same time, and it’s never convenient to carry your AcuGraph back and forth between rooms all day! That’s why AcuGraph 5 has built-in support for multiple computers, all sharing the same patient data. Need AcuGraph on 2, 3, or even 10 computers? No problem! Your... Read more
Maybe I’m way too excited about this, but I’ve got good reasons to be excited! The new AcuGraph processor units are ready, and they’re really, really good! So what’s the difference, you say? That’s a great question! And it’s got two answers. Answer #1: The first answer is simple. As far as our users can tell, there is no difference. And that’s what’s so great! We’ve completely duplicated the sound, sensitivity, reliability, function, and rock-solid... Read more
The Acupuncture Growth Symposium was a HUGE success! We had a great group of practitioners there, but realize that many people who wanted to attend couldn’t, due to scheduling conflicts, travel expenses, etc. So, for everyone who missed out (and for those who attended too!), this month’s webinar will focus on Kimberly’s top three take-aways from the Acupuncture Growth Symposium! We realize there’s so much more from the weekend that we can’t share during this... Read more
Wow, what an absolutely amazing weekend! My staff and I just got back from San Diego, California, where we hosted the Acupuncture Growth Symposium. We had a wonderful time bonding with each other, and spending three days with some of our incredible customers, and friends. A lot of our practitioners weren’t able to make the trip, so hopefully this blog post gives you a taste of the excitement we’re STILL feeling! My Favorite Part I’ll... Read more
The Original Auricular Wall Chart It was a proud moment for me, all those years ago, when we introduced our first ear acupuncture wall chart. After weeks and weeks of work, combining and synthesizing information from 13 separate sources, we had finally built the most comprehensive, beautiful, and useful auricular acupuncture chart the world had ever seen. It was amazing! And our customers loved it! We’ve sold thousands of copies of that chart over the... Read more

Many of you have known me for a long time. I’m always amazed when I travel and run into people who follow me because of the work I do with Miridia Technology. When Adrian hired me, so many years back, he told me that beyond doing research for our products—I had the ability to uniquely create my position into whatever I envisioned. Since you are an integral part of this story, I’d like to share... Read more
