Moxabustion success in turning breech baby after 36w?

Hi all, I've recently been posting about my breach baby and the options of ECV vs ELCS. I think I've ruled out ECV for various reasons, but it doesn't feel like the right option for me.

I've just found out about moxabustion (actually suggested by the midwife) and am going for a session to start this on Friday when I will be 36+1. The little I've read about it says it is most effective around 34-36w, so I'm curious if anyone has any anecdotal evidence of success with this turning their breech babies after 36w?

No experience but it's a safe and harmless treatment to try and anything is worth a shot isn't it? Make sure you spend plenty of time scrubbing floors too. I think that position is supposed to open everything up nicely and encourage baby to shift. Of course you could get stuck down there......Grin Good Luck
