Natural Lice Cures and RemediesMost conventional lice removal products have pesticides in them. It would be like spraying your child's head with a can of RAID. For those seeking to ill the lice and avoid poisoning their kids at the same time here are some natural lice remedies. Mayonnaise - Takes several handfuls of mayonnaise and rub into your child's hair. Cover with a shower cap or towel and let sit for two hours to smother the lice. Wash with soap afterwards (may need a couple washes) and then check for lice again. Repeat if any remain. This can also be done with Vaseline but since this product is made from petroleum I would skip it. Make Your Own Lice Shampoo Mix a small amount of Dr. Bronner's Liquid Soap with 5 drops each peppermint, lavender, tea tree, and eucalyptus essential oils. Leave on for an hour under a towel or shower cap and then wash out. Use a lice comb to comb hair out and check for more lice and be sure to inspect hair regularly until you are sure the lice are gone. Also remember to wash bed sheets and clothing so you don't re-infect. See also: Herbal Hair Solution | Natural Skincare Recipes | The No Shampoo Alternative | Organic Bath and Beauty Products
