A study on treating asthma with essential oil showed substantial benefits from the use of lavender oil. Over 26 million children and adults in the United States have asthma. [1] Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases experienced by children. Many adults also have asthma.
A petechia, plural petechiae, is a small (1â2 mm) red or purple spot on the skin, caused by a minor bleed from broken capillary blood vessels. Petechia refers to one of the three descriptive types of bleeding into the skin differentiated by size, the other two being purpura and ecchymosis. Petechiae are by definition less than 3 mm. The term is almost always used in the plural, since a single lesion is seldom noticed or significant.
ecÂ·chyÂ·moÂ·sis. A purplish patch caused by extravasation of blood into the skin, differing from petechiae only in size (i.e., ecchymoses are larger than 3 mm diameter). [G. ekchymÅsis, ecchymosis, fr. ek, out, + chymos, juice]. (Äk-Ä­-mÅâ²sÄ­s) plural.
