An acupuncturist at the last Coalition for Breech Birth conference explained that in Chinese medicine, babies are breech because of too much yin (female) energy. The goal then, in turning babies, is to increase the yang (male) energy of the pregnant woman to balance her body and allow the baby to turn head down.
He recommended essential oils at an acupressure point that increases yang energy. This point is above your ankle, two thumb widths from the top of your ankle bone. Rub awakening oils on this point, Kidney 7. Use awakening oils such as mints, rosemary, and lemongrass. This should have the additional effect of getting your baby moving in order to get her turning from breech to head down.
You can also increase your yang energy and help turn a breech through diet.More on essential oils for breech.
