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.
