"So using acupuncture, we help women to get pregnant, either naturally or using in-vitro fertilization. Then the other problem is, what if the fetus couldn't flip to the head down position. One of the choice we can do is using acupuncture on certain points. It's on the small toe of our feet. On the outside of the small toe, there is a point called bladder 67. We can apply the muck ward, the moxa, directly there to stimulate this point to change the head position. The mechanism is, one, is it relax the uterus so that is create more space for the fetus to move, and the second is it increase the fetus movement. So the research shows 75% fetus go to head down position, while on the control group only 25%, the fetus can flip to normal position."
