Turning Breech Babies - Acupuncture in Eastern District of Auckland & Thames
by Antonia Balfour, L.Ac., Dipl.Ac. & C.H.
Francesco Cardini, M.D., a private practice physician in Verona, Italy, and Huang Weixin, M.D., of the Jiangxi Women’s Hospital in Nanchang, China, found that 75 percent of fetuses in the group treated with moxibustion changed their position to the correct “head-first” position compared to 48 percent of the fetuses in the control group. The researchers found that there was more fetal activity on average for fetuses in the treatment group.
The primary acupuncture point used for the treatment of breech presentation is located on the outside corner of the nail of the little toe. This point connects with the uterus through an internal meridian (or pathway). The heat of moxibustion stimulates the baby to move and encourages it to turn. Treatment is most effective if started in the 33rd or 34th week of pregnancy, but can be started as early as the 32nd week.
Treatments are given once or twice a day for 15 to 20 minutes.
