Breech babies are ideally treated between 32 to 36 weeks with a combination of acupuncture and moxa (a herb that has been shaped into a cigar-like stick). The moxa stick is lit and held over specific places in the body to stimulate the acupuncture points.
Physicians should no longer automatically opt to perform a cesarean
section in the case of a breech birth, according to new guidelines by
the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada. Full article. http://www.acubalance.ca/c-section-not-best-option-breech-birth.
Acupuncture Treatment: You will typically have one treatment and then be shown how to continue treatment at home with moxa.
