AcuPoints is an all-in-one program which addresses the needs of Acupuncture Professionals, Alternative Medicine Practitioners, as well as Students of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Due to many requests we have created a version of AcuPoints for those who do not have or want to use a mobile device or phone version of this software. This allows many opportunities to break away from the limited interfaces and resources of those types of devices. This software will run on your Windows 7, Vista, XP, etc. desktop as a stand-alone version of the product.

AcuPoints includes a lot of features and functionality, here is a short breakdown:

• 401 Acupuncture Point locations (traditional and extra points)
• Over 50 TCM Diagnosis / Diseases (see below for a complete listing)
• Multi-Search, a multi-keyword searching engine that accepts up to 3 different key phrases / words to search for throughout your Location or Diagnosis data. Ex. "headache" AND "night sweats" AND "pale tongue"
• Smart-Search allows easier searching by just highlighting words or phrases in your data and pressing CTRL+F (Search), this will automatically run a search and display any matching results. No typing needed.
• Completely redesigned user interface. Allows resizing and recall of nearly every window size and position
• Multiple font sizes to choose from
• Built-in data Backup and Restore functionality
• Integrated and user-editable acupuncture point metadata such as Pinyin / English name and point Attributes (ex. Front-Mu, Crossing Point) for each point

You can quickly add points to your protocol right from the Location view. After your custom treatment is created you can choose to apply: Tonification, Sedation, and/or Moxa to any listed points as well as specify: Left side, Right side and/or Bilateral treatment. Then you can add a Comment / Description for your protocol and save it. You can even click on a point in your protocol and AcuPoints will display that point location and any associated Clinic Notes. How's that for easy! You can even share your protocols with other users of AcuPoints. Here are a few ways you can use this new AcuTx feature:
