Could this be a reference to moxa? This herb is often used by acupuncturists, burned and held near specific points. There is a point on the outside of the little toe where moxa may be used, or just acupressure alone, to turn breech babies.
Good luck!

Subject: Name of Herb for breeches.
Attended a special dinner tonight for a very pg mom whose SIL wanted to
intro her to local reps from LLL, Bradley, doula service, etc. As we were
discussing breastfeeding and how to get it off to the best start she mentioned
she might be needing a C Sec. due to the baby having just flipped 10 days
ago into a head up position.
She mentioned that on CNN recently there was mention of an article from
New England Journal of Med, regarding an herb that could be sniffed (?)
that would cause a baby in a breech position to correct itself? Has
anyone
ever heard of this? Mom wants a perfect birth and is so desperate to turn
this baby they had her in a pool doing head stands for three hours the other
night (she's due in 11 days!!!)
Also, does anyone have the EM address for the certified herbalist from this
list?
