Moxibustion - anyone tried it locally?

[MamaMia100]

Hello - I am looking into ways to encourage my breech baby to turn before I have to have the dreaded ECV! Some people have recommended moxibustion (crazy sounding acupuncture type thing where you burn something by your little toe). I am not 100% convinced but willing to try anything at this point! I have no idea where to go though, so would be really grateful for any recommendations in the crouch end / highgate / muswell hill area. Many thanks!

Anyone...?

Hello MamaMia100

good luck with turning the baby, the Active Birth Centre www.activebirthcentre.com/ has a therapy clinic and James (who also does acupuncture through Whittington) does moxibustion and other acupuncture therapies, contact details are on their website
You can also check with your antenatal care provider you may find you can get it on the NHS through your hospital if you ask (it isn't always offered even when it is available)
Good luck!

Google london college traditional accupuncture. It's in barnet. Treatments are done by students so £15 a session, ime fertility/preg cases always overseen by experienced teachers so nowt to worry about. Moxibustion is lovely

I would highly recommend Kim (male) at the healen centre in crouch end. I've been treated by him for over 6 years for a hip condition and he is the best I know for acupuncture and moxi. Good luck

I was about to have moxi at the Whittington but my son turned just in time! I watched loads of videos on YouTube about exercises you can do and pressure points for you/ your partner to press and dud them frantically for about 2 weeks by the time it came to have the moxi he'd turned. Good luck! X
