Re: moxibustion
Pardon my ignorance but I thought that the HEAT was the active factor in moxibustion, rather than the actual herb used (ragwort I believe) My doctor tried this with me at 35 ish weeks first pregnancy, without success, but the baby was 3950g at birth and was in frank breech, legs extended so not a lot of hope of spontaneous version there. Someone also tried an ECV at 36 weeks, which was very painful and not successful. I had an elective C/S. However when I was pregnant with no.3 I felt that she was breech at 28 weeks and 'encouraged' her to turn by gently palpating and GENTLY pushing her in the desired direction while lying relaxed in my own bed one night, and talking to her to encourage her to move. No-one was more surprised than me to feel her turn under my hands! She went back to breech so I repeated this at 32 weeks and she stayed put thereafter, which was good for me as I had a fabulous birth in the end.

Recently we had a woman in our practice with a frank breech at 33 weeks. I tried moxibustion at 36 weeks. Baby didn't turn and she had a c-section. This was the first time I had tried moxibustion. I was not prepared for how much smoke these sticks gave off. I gave the first treatment our clinic and it stunk the place up for days. It was a strange one to explain to clients coming in after the event. One client became very ill shortly after her exposure to the smoke. The parents took the moxa home with them and did it in the bathroom with the exhaust fan on but it was so smokey that it discouraged them from using it. Anyway, in Canada where we cannot open doors and windows at any time of year or expose bare toes in the outdoors this presents a problem. Anyone got a creative solution?

Re: moxibustion
I don't think we know how it works: whether it is the heat alone or a combo of the heat and the herb. Traditionally moxa is made from Artemisia vulgaris common name mugwort, the Japanese name is moxa. Traditionally these are the herbs used and in the study cited the researchers could not do a placebo comparison with another herb or with no herb at all and only heat because the population of women are so familiar with moxibustion treatment. Perhaps the trial should be repeated in another place/culture where women are less (or un-) familiar with traditional moxibustion and so a placebo treatment could be used. So right now the treatment is to burn/smoulder the moxa stick on the acupuncture pont indicated. It is stinky (to most westerners) and we don't know if simply placing heat over the point would work as well or at all. love marilyn -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.

KEMH
Just a couple of quick questions for the girls who work at KEMH in Perth, do you work 12 hour shifts? Also do you rotate into P/N and D/S and how often are the rotations - 3month/6 month or yearly? Forgot to ask Robyn these questions.

To whom it may concern,
My name is Lisa Soares, a doctoral student in the School of Psychological
Science at La Trobe University, Bundoora, Victoria under the supervision of
Dr. Sabine Wingenfeld. We are currently conducting a study examining how
different cultural beliefs and values influence parenting in the hope that
this research will enable us to better understand how parents from diverse
cultural backgrounds raise their children.
As the results of this research will help understand the needs of parents
from different cultural backgrounds (including Anglo), we hope that you or
people that you know with children between 4 and 12 years of age, may be
able to assist us with this research by participating in this study. This
would involve completing a short questionnaire which would take about 30
minutes to complete. Moreover, strictest confidence is assured and no-one
will be identified in any way.
Your assistance would be much appreciated. If you have any further
inquires or comment, please contact either myself, Lisa Soares either by

Re: Fenugreek
I have been advised previously that it increases milk production: it was recommended for a client of mine who had had previous breast reduction surgery and subsequent delayed onset of lactation, it was definetly beneficial for my client (as well as determination etc.). marilyn -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.

Re: Fenugreek
Hi, we use fenugreek often in our unit with good results.The studies indicate a minimum of 3 grams a day is reqired for any effect ,ie to maintain supply. To increase supply up to 6 grams is required , these doses are usually divided up and given tds with meals,ie 2grams with breakfast lunch and dinner .If it causes diarrhoea,which is about the only side effect,cut the dose down.Fenugreek causes perspiration to smell like maple syrup and the mother needs to take enough fenugreek for this to happen for it to be effective Lyle PS their is lots of info on the net about its use lyn kelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/12/02 12:39pm BlankDear list, Could you please help me by giving some information about the use of fenugreek in the period after birth. A client has asked about its use, but I don't know much about it. Does it increase or decrease milk production? Does it assist uterine involution? Does it assist iron uptake? Should it be used in conjunction with other herbs? What is the best way to use/take it? As I said I don't know anything about it. Thanks in advance.
