Remedy
Stomach, gas, queasy
Mint, chamomile, broth. Sip, do not flood. The rehydration mix if they are dumping fluid.
- Peppermint or spicebush tea, warm, small cups.
- Chamomile if it is crampy more than queasy.
- If there is diarrhea or vomiting: 1 liter clean water, 6 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp salt. Sip.
- Bland potato or broth when they ask for food. No grease, no raw cider.
Blood in the stool, black tar, a board-hard belly, or a person who cannot keep sips down a full day — not mint. See Illness.
