According to the literature given to me, "Moxibustion is a way of stimulatingng acupuncture points with heat, which encourage the fetus to turn. The technique employs a lighted moxa stick held near the point BL-67 on the little toe"
My acupuncturist, Jen, often uses moxa on certain points during my treatment sessions. She used the sticks this time for 15 minutes on my little toes. Since I was with her, she then put in needles at the point on my little toes. Jason has to repeat the moxa stick part twice a day, if possible, for 10-15 minutes each time. We are obviously not putting in needles.
So here we are!

Anyone that has done acupuncture knows moxa gets into your clothes and follows you around all day. It creates a lot of smoke, so we are outside in these frigid temps burning my little toes. It's quite comical! Our neighbors probably think we are smoking pot outside.
We are suppose to stop when I think the baby has moved. Riiiiiiight. H2 moves all the time. I can't tell the difference between a punch, kick, or 180 flip. By the low pain I had in church this morning, I think H2 is still breech. We will know for sure on Tuesday at my next sonogram.
Until then, we will be smokin' up on the back deck.
Oh H2, the things we do for you already...

So does this moxie thing help with the fungus on the toe? I see that's is gone...
Keep on smokin' Looks relaxing. LOL at Jason - he's so serious
HILARIOUS! I have read about that before, but a picture (or two) is worth at least a thousand words! Jason looks like a pro. A little puff a chuff on the back deck doesn't phase Big Daddy Hollencamp. :)
P.S. "Puff a chuff" isn't really part of my vocabulary. I had to look up "funny slang for smoking pot" on urbandictionary.com.
