True to form, Turkmen officialdom is keeping quiet about bad news on the horizon. They have barely mentioned the word “coronavirus,” which has not appeared on any government website after one cursory mention on March 5. That same day, citing medical sources in the capital Ashgabat, RFE/RL's Turkmenistan service wrote that there are probably at least two confirmed coronavirus cases in the country.

An unlikely place to find flaky skin is the eyebrow because we are used to tackling the scalp directly to get rid of dandruff. However, when the condition is chronic, it can spread to other parts of the body that have glands to secrete oil, especially the forehead and face area, inevitably affecting the eyebrows too. A chronic condition of dandruff is called seborrheic dermatitis, which can occur among both adults and children. It leads to skin rashes, greasy skin, and whitish scales.

Researchers from the University of California, Irvine recently zeroed in on a group of plants that have, historically, been a treatment for hypertension....
