  - Describe the issue your friend is struggling with

Here is my submission for Natural Medicine - Watson List - Stomachache BB.

I noticed M99 walking around cradling their abdomen and checked in with them.  I was told that they had been experiencing an achy tummy since waking up that morning (several hours) and was very distracted by the pain.

My suggestions for relief included rubbing mint salve that I made over the affected area.

Description of success: I checked back in with M99 two hours later and she had forgotten that her stomach had been bothering her earlier.  

To document the completion of the BB, I provide the following photos in addition to the above information:
 - Picture of you with friend on the first meeting
 - Picture of you with friend (giving a thumbs up) on your last meeting

This is ShooMuMander. He has an upset stomach. It's lasted all day so far ( 8 hours).

I recommended essential oils exteriorly for immediately feeling better. A probiotic supplement and apple cider vinegar were recommended internally.

I rubbed the digestive essential oils on him myself. He used the vinegar and prebiotic one time.

He felt better in an hour. So cool!!
