Re: Definition & Use of Diatomaceous Earth - (head lice)

[Guest guest]

Hi. Thanks for the info on DE. The article states that it is effective against head lice, but then it says to use mayonnaise. I have used the mayonnaise successfully before many times, but I am always looking for new ways to fight head lice. Does anyone have a suggestion of how to use DE for head lice? Would I just dust it on and leave it there for a while?

Mayonnaise

by itself or mixed with a few drops of the above essential oils is good

for mites or lice in the hair. Leave it on for a good half hour, then

rinse well.
