Here's a video that has a few ideas which may or may not be applicable to your friend's issue:


Minimum requirements:
  - Help your friend with their Foot fungus/Athlete’s foot problem
  - Refer to them by a number or pseudonym that you will continue to use for that friend throughout the Natural Medicine badge

To document completion of the BB, provide the following:
  - Your friend's pseudonym
  - Describe the issue your friend is struggling with
      - Symptoms
      - Duration
      - Severity
      - Medical diagnosis (if any)
 - Your suggestions for relief (including, but not limited to)
     - Behavioral
     - Food as medicine

Approved submission
Here is my submission for the Natural Medicine Aspect - Straw - Quinn List - Help with Athlete's Foot BB.

T22 (pseudonym) was experiencing cracking and flaking between and under the toes of her left foot.  

After realizing that the concentrated iodine solution would stain the counter or floor, I decided to purchase a Licorice Root solution for treating the issue.

- My suggestions for relief
    - Behavioral: change socks to keep feet dry, dry feet well after a shower, allow feet to be bare instead of inside socks/shoes/slippers
    - Concoctions: Licorice Root Extract applied twice per day

- Description of success
    - What your friend actually did: applied licorice root after a shower and at least once per day for several weeks
    - How well it worked and how long it too to see results: cracking healed within a week, flaking disappeared within two weeks

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following photos to supplement 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 awkward. I've grown a second evil head. I'm going to need a machete and a tiny ad ...
