I love moxa for so many reasons but my favourite one is that it is a safe treatment to turn a breech baby. 👶🏻
Studies have shown that it has a 66% success rate when used on acupuncture point BL67. The heat of the moxa is directed into the acupuncture point and it helps to trigger hormone changes, which according to NHS Bolton “relax the muscles in your uterus to allow extra give, and increasing your baby’s activity, encouraging him to turn.”
It is less invasive than an ECV. Why not give it a go?
It is best to start moxa around 34 weeks once you find out your baby is breech. More information can be found here: https://purehealthacupuncture.co.uk/moxibustion-therapy/
