Los Angeles, Aug 24 (IANS): Singer-songwriter Gwen Stafani, 47, is reportedly trying out a new method to increase the chances of getting pregnant. She is consuming Eastern medicine.

According to Celebrity Insider magazine, Stefani is sure that singer Blake Shelton is the right person for her and wants to start a family with him. However, she is afraid that it will be very hard for her to conceive due to her age.

According to a source, Stefani is trying out "alternative sources of medicine" which includes Chinese herbs. In addition, she has been doing hypnosis.
