Re: Head Lice repellent
10 drops of lavender oil
10 drops of tea tree oil
5 drops of eucalyptus oils
1 litre of boiled water (cooled)
place in a spray bottle & use to soak thru the hair while using a nit comb
to remove the little blisters with a simple clean water or shampoo as
normal.
Once an initial clean head is achieved then the spray can be used weekly or so to prevent further infestations.....please check if any of the kids or adults are allergic with a quick spray underneath the elbow area and leave 48 hours...Although you can use this and leave it on the kids hair overnight for better results...this solution can be used in washing clothes/bedsheets..etc that are also hiding areas for reinfection.

An excellent preventative blend would comprise equal parts of rosemary, lavender, and lemon. Add 2 drops to the final rinse after shampooing. Rosemary is used in many Asian hair preparations as it discourages all manner of small creepy-crawlies from making their home in the hair. Lavender, of course, is a well established insect repellent. Only use the oils in this way periodically.
