Lice Cures - A Home Remedy
 If your family has ever had
to tackle head lice, and you’ve searched endlessly for lice
cures that work, you know very well how frustrating the
process can be. This can be even more of a nightmare if you
have tried several different, over the counter; lice cures
that failed to rid your family of lice.
If you use an over the counter lice cure, you could end up
spending hundreds of dollars every time someone in the house
brings home head lice, and then there is a chance that the
treatments won’t even work.
A better alternative may be to try a home remedy. Most of
the time, home remedies are much less expensive, safer and
more effective for killing lice. There are several, safe,
non-toxic home remedies that you may wish to try before
sinking hundreds of dollars into over the counter, or
prescription lice cures.
Of the many lice cures that are, one home remedy that has
been recommended by pediatricians is the use of real
mayonnaise. To use mayonnaise as a lice cure you must
saturate the hair and scalp in mayonnaise, and then cover
the head with a shower cap. The treatments must be kept on
for several hours.
When it is time to remove
the mayonnaise, you simply wash the hair with dish soap a
couple of times, and then use a specially designed comb to
remove the dead lice and nits. After treatment, it will be
necessary to thoroughly clean all of the surfaces in the
home. Vacuum all carpets and furniture; wash bedding,
clothes and coats. Anything that cannot be washed should be
stored in an airtight plastic bag for at least two weeks.
The process should be repeated every four days for about two
weeks to ensure that the head lice infestation is under
control.
There are several home remedies that are said to work good
as lice cures; they include using olive oil, or tea tree oil
as apposed to mayonnaise, and regular use of a shampoo that
contains coconut oil is suppose to work wonders for keeping
your household free of head lice.
The most important step you can take in preventing head lice
infestation in your home is to educate your children on the
risks of sharing personal items, such as brushes and hats,
with other children. Head lice spreads by the hair having
physical contact with a louse found on clothing objects,
furniture, combs, etc.
If your child is sent home
from school with head lice, don’t panic. With some careful
research are sure to find good lice cures that works.
