Acupuncture and Moxa for Breech baby

Did you know that acupuncture and moxa can correct a breech position baby?
 This treatment is safe, and most effective in weeks 33-37 of pregnancy. Studies have shown success rates are best when mom includes gentle daily stretches and exercises specific for helping baby's position.

The acupuncture points used are located throughout the body, and moxa and acupuncture are applied specifically to UB 67, the little point on the end of the little toes (image shown below). Women are instructed on how to continue moxa daily on the UB 67 points.

Resources for our fertility clients

Over the years we have shared these great books and websites with our clients facing fertility challenges. Some of them are framed in the eastern medicine approach, and some address a blend of eastern and western medical approach. Because our approach includes diet and lifestyle, some of the books and dvd's pertain to that as well.

Acupuncture (and herbs) for your health maintenance

This post is written for any of you who are curious about what regular acupuncture might do for your health and wellbeing. 

Often, clients find us to address specific acute and chronic concerns, such as nagging headaches, or migraines that worsen during heightened stress or long work hours. Irregular and painful menstrual cycles that stops you every month and re-routes your plans for the day. Then there are the digestion complaints that come and go, and you aren't sure what foods or events might trigger it. Many of us have experienced times when the demands of work or family bring on stress that leads to tired eyes, headaches, tense muscles, restless sleep, and a feeling of irritation and low energy. Perhaps you notice a vague sense of pressure or tension which seems to continue building, and your regular workouts or the occasional glass of wine helps in the short term, but it's still there in the background. Injuries that haven't completely healed may effect your ankle or your shoulder, limiting your enjoyment of a kayak outing or a hike with family or friends.

Whatever the symptom or pattern, acupuncture is a gentle and effective way to reduce the discomforts many of us live with. It also helps to melt away the build up of many types of stressors. People call us every week asking if we treat this symptom or that diagnosis, and our typical answer is Yes, we can help, because we are addressing you!





We have lots of fancy explanations for how acupuncture works in our bodies, but if you want to find out how it can help YOU, give us a call, read through the reviews on our online schedule, or make your first appointment this week.
