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.
Similar to petechiae, purpura do not blanch and may occur anywhere on the body. The evaluation of a patient with petechiae or purpura begins with a complete history that can readily eliminate most disorders from the differential diagnosis.
