Qpuncture II for O.M. is an outstanding tool for acupuncturists, chiropractors, massage therapists, herbalists, acupressurists, MDs, martial artists, and other oriental medicine practitioners. No wonder this is a must-have software for medical professionals.

Content: Acupuncture, auriculotherapy and herb reference guide, covering acupuncture principles in traditional terms, point location, and clinical use.

The former version of this software was reviewed in January 2001 as 'Acupuncture Made Simple' - I was impressed by the clever use of multimedia with animated 3D graphics. This version (QP2) contains a number of significant improvements.

The opening screen shows a handsome acupuncture needle graphic, and the navigation title bar has the following labels: File (to exit the program), Principle (covering fundamental concepts of oriental medicine, tongue (100 pictures) and pulse diagnosis (28 pulses), needling techniques (rather scant), and measuring methods), Acupuncture (Channel theory and meridian description, detailed descriptions of 361 acupuncture points-see below), Pain Clinic (covering clinical descriptions in Western terms of a number of illnesses, with a TCM interpretation with suggested points for treatment). Auriculotherapy is a new addition to the program showing the ear points superimposed over graphics of the representative body parts within the ear (Nogier would be very proud!). Again, the anatomy of point location is complemented by clinical disorders with suggested treatment points for a wide variety of conditions (86). The Herb section is also new, with 800 pictures of 200 herbs, and in the same style which correlates the herbs to clinical applications.

Navigation is very simple and allows you to jump from topic to topic, using any menu. The 200 3D animations are delightful, showing where the needle is placed for most points. The 2D graphics for each point shows the clear location with an option to highlight the surface, muscle, bone, artery and nerve relationships to that point. At anytime it is possible to print out the screen information. To complete the easy navigation there is a search function. Entering "fatigue" returned a list of over 50 pages where the word was displayed highlighted in green.

This edition allows the program to be minimised, so that you can keep it running in the background whilst other tasks are carried out.

QP2 is a significant advance over "Acupuncture made simple" in terms of increased content, stylish displays, and no-nonsense navigation. A version aimed at Scientific, Western or Medical acupuncturists, detailing trigger points, segmental approaches, neuropharmacology and functional MRI scanning, would be very welcome.
