Moxibustion to Turn Breech Presentation Babies

Moxa to help your baby turn to a head down position.

Whilst it might appear strange, moxibustion is an age old method of turning babies presenting in a breech position. Many studies have been conducted which prove that this method has a very high success rate.

An acupuncturist will use moxa, which is a herb made from the mugwort plant. The herb is moulded into a cigar-like stick and is set alight and smoulders near specific acupuncture points. The mother is given homework to do this herself every morning and evening until the baby turns.


No needles are used, just some gentle heat. It's actually rather pleasant!

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE

Evidence suggests that moxibustion is safe and increases your chance of turning a baby to the head down position, according to the NHS.
