May 22, 2008

Home remedies for head lice tip 2 – Do not use comb, towel and dress of those who are having head lice. Lice broadcast very fast from one head to another through these substances

Home remedies for head lice tip 3 – The idea behind using mayonnaise, petroleum jelly, food-grade oil, or margarine is that these thick and heavy substances cover the louse’s air holes, effectively smothering them. Though this technique may make it hard for lice to breathe, it likely won’t kill them.

Home remedies for head lice tip 4 – Few have merit apart from a few essential oils, a few dust compounds containing diatomaceous earth, and of course some of the over the counter remedies.

Home remedies for head lice tip 5 – Forget about a haircut. A seemingly easy solution to head lice is to give your child a haircut. “Unless you’re going to shave the head, that won’t get rid of the nits, because they usually settle about 1/4 inch from the scalp,”

Tip 6 – Take 1 teaspoon of lime juice and add it to 1 teaspoon of garlic paste. Mix this well and apply to the scalp. Leave this on for at least 30 minutes and then wash the hair.

Tip 7 – Apply mayonnaise to the hair and scalp and cover with a shower cap. Leave this on for at least 4 – 5 hours.

Tip 8 – Take about 8-10 almonds and grind them to form a paste with 2-3 tsp of limejuice. Apply the paste on the scalp and let it remain for half an hour. Thereafter you can wash your head.
