Thank you for your help and encouragement. After 3 miscarriages, I didn’t think being pregnant for a full term was possible. You made it possible!

Moxibustion (Moxa) Treatments

What is Moxibustion?

Moxibustion, the burning of a dried herb called moxa (usually
Breech Babies mugwort or Artemisia vulgaris) to treat disorders has been used along with acupuncture and herbs for a very long time. Moxa provides a penetrating heat that can enter the channels to influence Qi and Blood flow.

Moxa may be administered several different ways. In one way, it may be burned in the form of a stick that is held about two centimeters above a specific point. The patient usually experiences a pleasant warming sensation. Another method for administering moxa is to burn it at the end of an acupuncture needle that is inserted in a specific point.

Moxibustion can be used to treat many ailments. Most recently it has received a lot of attention regarding its ability to help turn babies. We have listed several studies (listed under research on acupuncture during pregnancy) covering the topic of moxibustion and breech position.

Studies indicate the moxibustion is helpful in the treatment of breech babies, gastrointestinal disorders, headaches, colds and flu and general immune boosting, to name a few uses.

 

Studies on Moxibustion
Total Wellness Centre has found and reviewed relevant scientific studies on the treatment of breech babies and other issues during pregnancy with acupuncture, moxibustion and traditional Chinese medicine. Please review the most up to date worldwide research on our website.


Is Acupuncture Right for Me?
Acupuncture has been part of healthcare for millions of people over thousands of years. More recently modern scientific standards have been applied to assessing the effectiveness of acupuncture. After considerable research, the Nation Institutes of Health (NIH) and The World Health Organization (WHO) agree acupuncture is an effective treatment for many illnesses.
