Natural Hair Lice Treatment – Eco Friendly, Green
Posted by easy eco blog, August 26th, 2010
Back to school… Having Lice in your hair is not fun. Schools encountered kids with this problem all the time because Lice can easily spread in schools. To remove the lice, most people essentially use toxic pesticides in their kid’s hair which include Permethrin, Pyrethrum, and Lindane. Hair lice has slowly become resistant to these chemicals.
We found a non toxic product called Licefreee! that uses the naturally occuring mineral Sodium Chloride USP to kill lice.
You can whip up your own Pediatrician’s home remedy using 2 ounces of vegetable oil with 20 drops of 100 percent tea tree oil and 10 drops of essential oils of rosemary, lavender and lemon. (Apply to the inner arm for about an hour to test for hypersensitivity first.) Rub oils into scalp and hair and leave for one hour covering with a towel. Comb out nits with a nit comb and use a hand-held blow-dryer for 10 to 15 minutes, before washing out oils. Repeat in seven to 10 days.
Other suggestions include:
- Covering hair with a show cap and heat with a hair dryer.
- Soak head in salt water for a few minutes or swim in the ocean
- Apply olive oil in your hair for about 30 minutes
