Eastern approaches
After three years of trying to conceive and three failed attempts at in-vitro fertilization, Tracey Carroll, 33, desperately turned to the East for help. She sought the needles and herbs of an acupuncturist. In fact, her new in-vitro doctor insisted. After she had her fourth session of getting pricked, her menstrual cycle became regular for the first time in three years. Carroll also swallowed 18 pills of ``smelly, yucky herbs'' of which the ingredients were derived from cow spleen and pituitary gland believed to regulate her hormones.

Carroll is among an increasing number of American women who are turning to alternative, Eastern medicinal arts for problems with infertility, menopause, weight loss and even dry skin.
