the bipoal makes it trickyy, 'natural' ADs seems to exacerbate it in many cases. you probably have thought of all htese, and not sure just what she thinks of as 'natural', but things i can think of that aren't at least known to induce switching:
magnolia bark
rhodiola
ashwagandha
vitamin d3
folate
minerals (mag, zinc especially, 'natural' lithium orotate)
gotu kola
inositol
NAC
cold water induction
bright lights
NSAIDs
valerian (i think it contains valproate analogue. unknown effect.)
melatonin if insomnia, although i'd guess tahts more likely on the manic side-d/r
