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.
I would recommend this to anybody, it does have a strong taste of pine, which is not too tasty but it is very much worth it.-Belinda . Excellent product. pricey unless using for healing. will buy more.-Christopher . This is Gum Spirit of Turpentine; not the turpentine you use for cleaning paint brushes. It is often used in homeopathic health recipes. It is also used as a cleaning additive. You used to be able to find it in local drugstores, but not so much these days. I was glad to be able to find some on line.-Neem . I got the 16oz bottle.
