All Natural Head Lice Treatment and Prevention

Head lice can be a very nasty, scary thing for a kiddos, not to mention the cleaning and worry that parents feel when trying to treat their little ones and their homes.

I came across a fabulous recipe to treat head lice naturally with essential oils. It worries me to think of the chemicals we are applying to children's scalps...which, after all is 'skin'....and is considered the largest organ of the body. Do we really want to be applying pesticide to skin? Hmmm.

Let's try a different approach. I'm posting a recipe for an all-natural head lice remedy below to help you our if you or your child is struggling with head lice. Hope you are able to find relief!!

There are several essential oils that are well known for their "anti-lice" properties. But I like a combination of three applied to several different parts of the body to get the most effective results.  Keep in mind: if you are trying to prevent others in your home from getting head lice, you can do this same procedure to them! This head lice recipe is not only good for getting rid of lice, it can help prevent it! BONUS!
