Turning A Breech Baby - Breech Position Protocol
Traditional Chinese Medicine has a reliable and non-invasive approach to helping turn breech babies starting from 32 weeks of pregnancy. During this virtual appointment you will be guided on how to do a simple technique using moxibustion, which is a Chinese herb that is burned over a specific acupuncture point, to encourage your baby to turn.
This appointment will also include instruction on supplementary acupressure points suited to your individual constitution. You will be sent an instructional handout and linked to where you can purchase the moxibustion sticks you will need for this protocol. |
