Remedy for Head Lice

November 11, 2008


Head lice is dangerous and a severe problem. They are highly contagious and can spread quickly from one person to another, though they cannot fly or jump, these parasites have claws which allow them to crawl and cling firmly to the hair. They spread mainly through head-to-head contact, but sharing clothing, bed linens, combs, brushes, and hats can also help pass them.

Kids are most prone to catching lice because they tend to have close physical contact with each other while playing. They infest the scalp and bite which causes itching. They also lay their eggs called nits, these nits stick to the hair shaft. Prepare a mixture by adding egg yolk, vinegar and lemon juice. Take egg yolk of 2 eggs and add 2-3 tablespoon of vinegar and equal amount of lemon juice into it. Mix it well and apply on the scalp. Allow it to dry for 20-30 minutes and then wash it off with warm water. It is also a good home remedy for head lice and nits.

1) Lemon juice is an effective home remedy for treating head lice and dandruff. Take 1-2 tablespoon lemon juice and garlic paste each and mix them. Apply this mixture over the scalp and allow it to dry for 25-30 minutes. Wash your hair in cold water and rinse off.
