Are you thinking of Moxibustion?  There are a lot of alternative therapies
avaialble for turning a breech and I've seen some of them work (moxa,
slantboard and music).  Check out the midwife list archives at

www.gentlebirth.org/archives/breech.html

Another alternative for her is a vaginal breech birth, if she can find a
practitioner who is skilled at this and willing to do it.
