🌀 Moxibustion for Breech Babies? It’s Real – and Backed by Tradition + Science!
Did you know that a gentle traditional therapy called moxibustion can help turn a breech baby?
✨ Moxibustion is a heat therapy from Traditional Chinese Medicine that involves burning a herb called mugwort near specific acupuncture points—most commonly BL67, located near the pinky toe.
🌬️ The warming stimulation helps:
➡️ Relax the uterus
➡️ Encourage optimal fetal movement
➡️ Increase baby’s activity
➡️ Create space for the baby to turn head-down
🔄 Studies have shown moxibustion—especially when combined with acupuncture or posture exercises—can significantly increase the chances of a breech baby turning naturally before 37 weeks.
💆♀️ Safe, non-invasive, and calming—moxibustion is often used between weeks 33–36 of pregnancy.
📍 Always consult a qualified practitioner and your healthcare provider before starting moxibustion.
💫 Nature has a way. Sometimes, it just needs a little nudge.
