Get rid of Lice at home with these Top 3 natural remedies!

Lice issues are usually common among the kids. Head lice are tiny in size and feed themselves on the blood of the human. The scientific name of these bugs is Pediculushumanuscapitis. These are parasites that cling to the scalp and lay eggs at the hair shaft.  One can easily catch lice by close contact with a person suffering from the same problem.

Children and ladies find a great problem in managing their hair while suffering from this issue. Detecting lice issues is not easy. One can keep on scratching for a long time without any idea about the lice in the head. Itching and red bruises on the scalp are symptoms of this issue. The elimination process takes time as the lice reproduce at a fast pace. Getting rid of lice is quite difficult and painful. Some remedies for getting rid of lice are-


1. Tea Tree Oil- Tea Tree Oil is very good for hair and scalp. It is bestowed with great antibacterial and antifungal qualities. It is natural oil and thus, is safe for the scalp. It is an effective remedy and can be easily used at home. 


How to use- Add tea tree oil to your natural shampoo. Mix the mixture properly. Apply it like a normal shampoo. Cover the head with a shower cap for around 30 minutes. Rinse after 30 minutes. Comb the lice out of the wet hair.


2. Vinegar- Vinegar does not kill lice. It just makes removing them from our hair easier. Lice lay their eggs and keep them stuck to the scalp. Vinegar helps in removing these eggs by cleaning the scalp. The lice can easily be removed by combing hair with a close spaced nit comb.


How to use- Wash your hair with a medicated shampoo. Now add some water in vinegar. Use this mixture on your scalp and cover your hair with a shower cap for 30-40 minutes. Rinse off after 40 minutes. Now comb the hair with a closely spaced comb.

3. Petroleum jelly- Petroleum jelly can be used for treating lice. It is a thick sticky formula which when spread all over the head irritates the lice and kills them. This remedy can be easily performed at home. 


How to use- Put a decent quantity of petroleum jelly on the scalp. Make sure you place more of it behind the ears as this is the place where nits hide. Cover the scalp with a shower cap for a night. Apply some oil to the scalp in the morning and comb your hair with a nit comb. After removing all the lice, wash the hair with a shampoo and condition them.


Do not use Tea tree oil directly on the scalp.
