China showed that moxibustion – a traditional Chinese practice that uses heat from burning
herbs to stimulate acupuncture points – can help move a fetus into the proper position for a
head-first delivery.

afflicts up to one in five Americans. Still other papers reported that practicing yoga for two
to three hours a week can ease the symptoms of ‘Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)’.
c Of the studies JAMA published last week, seven evaluated specific remedies, and three
found no apparent benefits. At New York’s St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital, for example,

more effective than a placebo. In another study, researchers found that chiropractic
maneuvers were no better than simple massage for treating tension headaches.
