What causes alopecia in children? The most common causes are non-medical (pulling hair too tight, brushing roughly, newborn hair loss) or caused by tinea capitis (a fungal infection), alopecia areata (immune system attacking hair follicles), trichotillomania (hair pulling or plucking often caused by anxiety), or telogen effluvium (caused by severe illness or other stressful event).
By B. Jamison-harrison on August 2, 2014. Verified Purchase. I'm still trying to make sure that the turpentine gum spirits is the correct turpentine to used topically. An old remedy from my mom (92 years old) and my dad (98 years old) is to mix the turpentine with baby oil and use as a pain reliever. It works better than any pain pain lotion or topical pain reliever I've used. However, this time, I used it occasionally and did not dilute it with baby oil.
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) , a popular flavoring for gum, toothpaste, and tea, is also used to soothe an upset stomach or to aid digestion.It has a calming and numbing effect, and is often used to treat headaches, skin irritation, nausea, diarrhea, menstrual cramps, flatulence, and anxiety associated with depression.o not take peppermint or drink peppermint tea if you have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD -- a condition where stomach acids back up into the esophagus), or hiatal hernia. Peppermint can relax the sphincter between the stomach and esophagus, allowing stomach acids to flow back into the esophagus.
