Approved submission
Here is my submission for the Natural Medicine Aspect - Straw - Quinn List - Help with a Bruise BB.

T22 (pseudonym) had been experiencing ear pain that she asked me to help with.  

My suggestions for relief
    - Behavioral: none
    - Food as medicine: place garlic clove in the outer ear
    - Concoctions: 2 drops of garlic-infused organic olive oil twice a day
                I made this in a crockpot (warm method) on day 1 so it would be ready by bedtime

Description of success
    - day 1 - garlic clove in the ear - pain decreased
    - days 1 pm through day 10: drops in ear 1-2 times per day
    - pain decreased on day 1 and pain was gone by day 6 but continued to prevent recurrence

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following photos to supplement the above information:
- My friend and I on the first meeting
- Me with friend (giving a thumbs up) on your last meeting
- clove of garlic in ear (Bonus Photo)
