Advice re moxa for breech presentation

[Guest guest]

Hi Hugo,

 

According to Debra Betts, it's 20 mins on each Zhiyin a day for 10

days. If the foetus turns before the 10 days are up, its 10 mins on

each Zhiyin point for the rest of the days.

 

There's a pdf on my website you can pull off and use, see:

Hope that helps!

Other authors such as Zita West suggest that you cease treating if the baby

flips, else you risk an additional turn back into breach.

Hi Tim - have you ever had this happen, or heard of it happen? I a wondering if

this is a theoretical consideration or based on experience... at the same time,

I was taught that the treatment (at ZhiYin b67) is over once the baby flips.
