Once you find out that any of your kids have a case of head lice, it's important that you take fast action to keep the rest of the family from contracting the parasites. Yes, a head louse is a bloodsucking bug that lives off of blood from your scalp. Okay, now everybody go ICK!
Natural Cures for Head Louse
You need to know that many of the claimed home remedies or natural treatments for head louse simply do not work. Many natural remedies such as olive oil work under the premise that a head louse can be suffocated and die. While head lice can indeed be suffocated, research has shown that they are able to survive being immersed in water over nine hours. So the idea of an easy natural cure is simply untrue.
Pesticide-based products have been used for years and are considered the most effective cure for a lice infestation. That said, products that contain neem oil have been shown to be the best natural treatment for lice.
The absolute best natural cure for head louse is not to get them in the first place. The old adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure is very accurate. When dealing with lice. To prevent head lice infestation in the first place, you need to train your children to be aware that any personal item that doesn't belong to them that touches their hair may have lice.
Although considered drastic by some, this advice passed on to your children can save you hours of trying to clean up a case of head lice. If however you or a family member already have lice, take direct action immediately to limit the problem.
Even if you do prefer a natural cure, consider commercially available shampoos, which have been shown to be extremely effective in killing the parasites. By closely following the directions, commercial products are the most effective solution to a growing lice problem
