HeadLice Home Remedy Using Eucalyptus Olive Oil And Tea Tree Oil

1. Posted 433 days ago, by Kim

This treatment was perfect in killing the live lice. Worked like a charm. BUT . . . then starts the hard work of picking out the nits. Believe me - diligence pays off. It has not been 8 days since the infamous call. I put olive oil on my kids heads every night (all night wrapped in celophane and then a shower cap), and comb thoroughly with vinegar in a spray bottle every morning. As effective as this has been, I am still finding a few eggs each combing. It is true that the eggs can hatch 7 - 10 days after being laid (I have actually heard up to 14 but am scared to believe that). So it is important to do the initial treatment again (tea tree oil and eucalyptis oil) 7 or 8 days after the first time. And keep up the oil treatments for another 7 days. I know it sounds tedious, but I would rather contend with the oil than to have eggs hatch and start the process all over.

Good luck to all - it is a very humbling experience.

Have not used this treatment but I must tell the readers that the best comb I have ever found is called the NitFree Terminator by Kleen-Free.

This one worked wonders for us and pulled out hundreds of eggs that the cheap ones from the store left behind. They also have sme chemical free shampoos and sprays that we used to get rid of lice when our little one brought them home.

After trying countless toxic chemical treatments, my kids were still plagued by these disgusting creatures. This natural remedy got rid of them within the week.
