Yes, this is true. Studies confirm the effectiveness of moxibustion (greater than 70% success rate) to turn breech babies, a technique used for centuries in China. Moxibustion involves burning a herb close to the skin at specific points known to stimulate the baby’s movement. It is most successful when used from 32 to 34 weeks.
