i've had several pregnant women connecting with me this past month to help them turn the breech presentation of their babies. i'm happy to report, success with all! love my job.
i set them up with a few acupuncture sessions and teach them how to use
moxibustion so they can do this daily at home. i use the "indirect" method where i place a moxa stick near the acupuncture point UB67 for a minimum of 20 minutes daily. The stick applies heat, and i leave it alternating sides every 5 minutes.
we also talk about positive visualization, which body positions are supportive to help baby turn, we use homeopathics and i even recommend diving in a pool (a tip from a good friend who's a midwife).
here's a
study on moxibustion and breech babies. it's worth a try :)
