Summary:
In Chinese Traditional Medicine (CTM), the two traditional methods, the crouch lying and the moxibustion to the ‘Zhiyinxue’, are very influential and popular in correcting pregnant malposition. However, the two methods are usually described as separate treatments. This essay reports a case of successfully combining these two treatments into one process. Firstly, take moxibustion to the pair of acupoints, ‘Zhiyin xue’ of the gravida, then let her immediately change to lie facing downward as a crouching style for minutes, waiting to hear the voice of the fetus turning action. This case report suggests three necessary treatment steps:
① Firstly, the moxibustion is treated synchronously to the pair of acupoints named the ‘Zhiyin xue’, the B67 in the CTM.
② Treating the moxibustion to warm the pair of ‘Zhiyin xue’, then enhancing slowly till starts to feel a little hot and uncomfortable;
③ The gravida immediately changes to a crouch, lying so that her breech is higher than her cephalothorax for minutes to wait for the correction of pregnant malposition.
These are somewhat different from or improved from the instructions in textbooks and online websites. We hope that this essay can help someone, such as a pregnant lady who suffers from the malposition or a doctor who curses the malposition pregnancy more effectively so that the gravida can be prevented by a caesarean section, which is usually treated in Western medicine. We know that this case is just one of surprising success. More case studies need to confirm this. Perhaps, such as needing to be treated more times than once treatment sometimes, or being suitable to cur parts of the pregnant malposition in practice.
