There are many treatments for lice on the market, some effective, some not. I have created a plant oil based on fresh olive oil

and some essential oils well known and documented to assist with the destruction of lice and nits. The oil may be of assistance in ridding your family of these pests.

It contains olive oil, rosemary, lavender, tea-tree and sweet orange essential oils, plus some vit E to keep the oil fresh for longer.

Obviously, with sensitivities and allergies to almost anything, a skin sensitivity test is advised to ensure that no one is going to react adversely to having it on their head and in close contact with their scalp.

Apply the oil to the affected scalp liberally, comb through. Cover the head with a showercap or plastic wrap and leave for a few hours. Then wash as normal. Follow up with a final rinse of vinegar, doesn't matter if you use cider vinegar or white household vinegar, it is the acidic properties you want.

All the adult lice will be dead, and the nits will be very easy to comb out.

As this is a chemical free solution there will be no residual protection, thus it must be repeated when further infestations are found.
