In pregnancy, moxibustion has been utilized to address various issues, including breech presentation. Research shows that moxa can effectively help turn a breech baby into a head-down position, especially when applied to the Bladder 67 (BL67) point on the little toe (Nakata et al., 2009). This technique is generally considered safe and is often used in conjunction with other treatments to improve fetal positioning and reduce complications during childbirth.

For pain management, moxibustion has demonstrated efficacy in alleviating various types of pain, including musculoskeletal and joint pain. A study published in the *Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine* found that moxibustion significantly reduced pain and improved function in patients with knee osteoarthritis (Zhang et al., 2015). The warming effect of moxa helps to relax muscles, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall comfort, providing relief from chronic pain conditions.

Moxibustion is also used to nourish the body and support overall wellness. A study published in *Chinese Medicine* highlighted that moxibustion can enhance immune function and support recovery by boosting the body’s energy levels and improving nutrient absorption (Liu et al., 2016). This nourishing effect makes it a valuable therapy for promoting general health and vitality.
