The study showed that moxibustion at acupoint BL 67 (aka UB 67), located at the tip of the fifth toe, reduced the need for external cephalic version compared to placebo and decreased the use of oxytocin for women who had vaginal deliveries.
The reference [1] doesn't say this. It says it "may" be useful, with strong qualifications about the small sample size. "There is insufficient evidence to support the use of moxibustion to correct a breech presentation. Moxibustion may be beneficial in reducing the need for ECV, and decreasing the use of ocytocin, however there is a need for well-designed randomised controlled trials to evaluate moxibustion for breech presentation which report on clinically relevant outcomes as well as the safety of the intervention".
