Looking for a Head lice recipe?

Popular lice treatments contain pesticides that can be harmful to children, especially after continued use. Some of those toxic chemicals include lindane and pyrethrins.

Instructions on head lice treatment shampoos suggest a second treatment seven days later. Head lice eggs take a week to hatch, so the treatment is a precautionary measure if any eggs are remaining.

Combing the nits out can be a huge chore because they’re so small, sticky and hard to see. If you add conditioner to dry hair and comb them out, it makes it a lot easier.

Traditional chemical head lice treatments are not only toxic but head lice have built up a resistance to them in many cases.

Alternative Head Lice Treatments:

Tea tree oil is an oil from Australia used to treat a variety of things such as athlete’s foot and dandruff. It’s also used for acne and as an antiseptic.

To treat lice, you can mix 1 teaspoon of tea tree oil to 4 tablespoons of carrier oil to rub in your scalp and leave for ten minutes before rinsing. Another method is to add 10 to 20 drops to shampoo and do the same. The first recipe was taken from a study found on NoSpray.org.

Oregano, Lavender and Cinnamon leaf are essential oils that may work as well as synthetic pesticides. Some natural remedies use a combination of several of them. Oregano is very strong, so it’s best to dilute it with a carrier oil.
