Remedy

Stomach, gas, queasy

Mint, chamomile, broth. Sip, do not flood. The rehydration mix if they are dumping fluid.

  1. Peppermint or spicebush tea, warm, small cups.
  2. Chamomile if it is crampy more than queasy.
  3. If there is diarrhea or vomiting: 1 liter clean water, 6 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp salt. Sip.
  4. 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.
