The case to be reported here involved a 34 year-old healthy woman (”the Patient”) who was pregnant for 30 weeks and her prenatal ultrasound result showed that there was malposition for her breech in June 2013. To avoid adopting the caesarean section treatment, she visited our traditional Chinese medicine clinic and received Zhiyin (BL-67) moxibustion stimulation in July 2013. She received the moxibustion stimulation treatment at Zhiyin (BL-67) acupoint 30 minutes a day for two weeks. The concept of this treatment is that fetal malposition could be treated by adjusting the meridian system of the Patient through Zhiyin (BL-67) moxibustion stimulation.
