An Italian obstetrician has carried out a study into the application of moxibustion at Zhiyin BL-67 for the treatment of breech presentation in pregnancy. Francesco Cardini and Huang Weixin divided 130 women (in the 33rd week of their first pregnancy) in two Chinese hospitals into two groups. Those treated with moxibustion (for 7 consecutive daily treatments with seven more if needed) experienced greater foetal movement and had significantly more normal (cephalic) births than women left untreated (The Journal of the American Medical Association 1998;280).
