Alopecia areata is a disease that attacks your hair follicles (the part of your skin that makes hair). In most cases, hair falls out in small, round patches about the size of a quarter. This causes only a few bare patches. Some people may lose more hair. In only a few people, the disease causes total loss of hair on the head or loss of all body hair.
Turquoise is a blue-green mineral, a copper aluminum phosphate, valued for its rarity and unique hue, and widely used as an ornamental stone. Popular in the 16th century to adorn places of worship in Turkey, it was eventually traded in Turkish bazaars and brought to Europe by merchants and travelers.
As a combination of the color blue and a little yellow, turquoise fits between green and blue on the color scale. The color turquoise radiates peace, calmness and tranquility through the blue color, balance and growth through the green color, with an uplifting energy from the color yellow. Turquoise recharges our spirits during periods of mental stress and fatigue, and removes the feeling of loneliness.
