Moxibustion is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment that can be used to encourage a breech baby to turn to a head down presentation before birth.
During this non-touch therapy herbal moxa sticks are lit and placed close to acupuncture points on your feet to giving a gentle heat. The radiant heat to the uterine meridian (energy line) is thought to increase baby’s movements, helping him or her to become active enough to turn into the head down position. During your appointment with me, you will be shown how to carry out ongoing moxibustion therapy safely and be given moxa sticks to use twice daily at home over the next week together with full written instructions. Find out more here.
I offer this simple, non-touch treatment between 34-38 weeks of pregnancy in my calm and comfortable garden room in Verwood.
Moxibustion – £45 (45-60 mins appointment)
Moxibustion with reflexology – £65 (90 mins appointment)
