Inductions

Beech babies

Research and experience have shown a significantly high incidence of turning babies with Moxa treatment. Ideally this is done at 34 weeks but can still be useful up until labour. Also treatment is effective in helping babies move into optimum position such as those in a posterior position.

Labour preparation

From around 36 weeks weekly treatment can help prepare the body for labour. Research and experience has shown babies are more likely to be born on or close to their due date and labours tend more efficient. Any unwanted symptoms at this time can be addressed and useful advice on gentle pain relief methods can be offered to both you and your birthing partner.
