Exploring all routes

Not to gross you out with a picture of my foot...but what I really want to show you is that burn mark. And no it is not self inflicted, but the remnants of an accupuncture treatment for turning breech babies. Instead of needles, they take this stuff and burn it on your pinky toes...both toes, nine times. The intent is to draw the energy downward in a way that makes the baby want to turn. I know this all seems very granola coming from me, but truth be told this was recommended by my OB as something to try. I don't think it worked though...as she still feels like she's in the same spot, but next week we're going for an external turn by the doc - fingers crossed that one of these things work.
