Conditions Treated: Skin and Hair

Specific Conditions Treated: Lice, Insect Bite

Ingredients Used: Bitterwood

Description: Bitterwood is very effective for head lice and also for pet fleas. In case of head lice, it will be useful to combine this treatment with combing the hair daily with a special comb.

You will need to crush a piece of the bark until you obtain one and a half tablespoon. Add one cup of cold water. Let it stand for at least 24 hours. Strain.

Directions For Use: For head lice: pour on the hair. Cover with a towel. Leave it for one hour and then wash your hair and the towel. Comb your hair very well. Repeat every 3 days until you get rid of lice.

For dog fleas, apply directly to the skin. Repeat once monthly.

Expected Results: You will get rid of the insects.

Expected Results Within: 2 weeks
