Safe Natural Treatments for Head Lice

Copyright 2005 Wayne Mc

If you are like most parents, you want a safe and effective

treatment for head lice. Most treatments are toxic and are

not recommended for toddlers. Here are three different

treatments from parents. As always, this is not medical

advice. Please check with your doctor if you have any

concerns.

Treatment#1

Combine 1/2 tsp. each of Eucalyptus, Pennyroyal and

Rosemary. Then add 2 1/2 tbls. pure olive oil. An Adult

needs to try the mixture on his/her skin to make sure it

doesn't burn. If it does, add more olive oil. After washing

your child's hair with very hot water (as hot as the child

can stand!) Comb the oil mixture through hair with a

regular comb (throw away kind) Then use a flea comb, comb

out any nits or eggs. Tie a cotton scarf around child's

head and leave on over night. It may tingle, but if it

burns wash out immediately and dilute the mixture and try

again.

THE NEXT MORNING

Wash hair with a good tea tree shampoo. This should take

care of the lice, however if necessary repeat the

treatment. To prevent lice (when it has been reported in

your child's school) rub tea tree oil or sassafras oil into

the scalp.

Treatment#2

A natural alternative to killing head lice is to use

mayonnaise. Cover the entire scalp and hair with

mayonnaise, cover with plastic wrap and leave on about half

an hour. Shampoo and remove all the nits or eggs.

Treatment#3

For best effectiveness, use a safe, pure soap like Botanic

GOLD™ and carefully follow the directions below. Every step

is important.

On a dry head, start at the nape of the neck along the

hairline and work around the head saturating the hair as

you go moving towards the crown where the hair is tied up.

Remove the clips or pony tail and continue to apply the

soap using enough to completely saturate the hair.

Massage the head and work into lather then comb through

hair to ensure coverage (use a metal, regular toothed

comb). Wrap or tie the hair back up on top of the head.

Every ten minutes or so, massage the hair until 30 to 40

minutes have past. DO NOT RINSE AND DO NOT ALLOW TO DRY.

(Reapply if necessary to keep moist.) The next day, follow

the instructions above " THE NEXT MORNING " .

NOTE: DO NOT USE Botanic Insecticidal Soap.

Sanitation Instructions for ALL Treatments

Lice are highly contagious and it is extremely important

that they are eliminated as fast and completely as

possible. When lice are first detected, it is wise to

launder everything with which the infected person has come

in contact. Use hot water and a non-toxic liquid soap.
