What is Moxibustion?
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves burning the herb mugwort (moxa) to produce heat near a specific point along your body's energy channels, known as meridians. This heat can bring warmth to the uterus, increase foetal activity, and help your baby turn.
Moxa is also believed to stimulate blood flow to the pelvic area and uterus. It can rid us of physical, emotional and mental blockages, whilst rebalancing energy and helping the energy to flow well again. We use an acupressure point on the little toe called bladder 67. You will need to administer this for around half an hour each day at home for around a week, possibly up to ten days.
Moxibustion has a 67% success rate (more than ECV!)
Join our workshop to learn this effective technique and increase your chances of turning your baby to a head-down position.
