For those interested in alternative methods for correcting 'Breech' presentations...according to both of the current mid texts I am using for mid training at the moment, there is mention of a Chinese technique called "Moxibustion" that has had some success in correcting this presentation. A herb, (mugwort) is applied to B67 acupuncture point at the base of the little toenails two times a day for 5 days. This technique has been researched and according to Stables (2000) & Sweet (1997) the findings presented an 80% success rate in breech presentations 'turning' after 34 weeks gestation.
