I spoke with a friend who is an acupuncturist last night.  He said that it
is very easy for them to turn the baby, now bear with me cause I'm new to
this acupuncture stuff, but they put a needle into the web between the thumb
and 1st finger on both hands and also into the little toe, then they twirl
the one in the toe.  He said the one in the toe was painful, but could even
be done during labor, I imagine during the early stages.  He also said you
could buy the herb, sorry I forgot to write down the name that has been
discussed on Lactnet, at an acupuncture school or store that carries their
supplies, that it smells somewhat like marijuana, and to be careful not to
let it get too close to the toe and burn the toe as the herb does get very
hot.  Sounds vile to me, but then I've never had a breech baby and needed
help to turn it.
