Turning breech baby
This video was filmed back in early 2007. To be honest, we were playing around with our new camera at the time and testingout you tube. So although the video quality is not up to standard and it looks amateurish, the information is still relevant and useful.
I suggest not starting moxabustion treatment before 32 weeks for obvious reasons. It is most effective between weeks 32 and 36 and becomes more difficuly after 36 weeks. We have turned babies at 38 weeks, it just not as likley as if you had been seen at 34 weeks.
For patients at Acubaalnce, we provide the moxa stick as seen in the video for home use as well as a hand out for use.
Please make sure the acupuncturist or therapist you are seeing has experience in treating women during their pregnancy, and in particular truning breech babies using acupuncture and moxabustion. Not recommneded to use for beech when carrying twins.

Moxa treatment is a DO!

It works. Believe me! I was terrified of having a doctor 'turn' my baby. I was worried about all sorts of things...I really wanted my baby to turn itself. I did the moxa treatment with Dr. Brown and at home did it myself. I felt a little new age but the day the baby turned I felt it. It wasn't too bad and I was so happy he did it on his own!!
