What Are The Home Remedies For Lices?
Before trying all the different home remedies to get rid of lice, you should have enough knowledge about the lice. As mentioned earlier, head, body, and pubic lice have three forms: nymphs_an immature lice, Nits_the lice eggs, and adult lice_which are fully-grown lice. And to fully treat lousiness, you have to look after all three forms. Most of the time, you need to apply topical prescription medication twice: First application is to kill any adult lice, and the next, after a few days, to kill the nits that have hatched later.
However, sometimes, standard medication doesn’t work as effectively as it should. The main reason behind this failure is that lice have become resistant against the over-the-counter stuff. That’s why many people are turning to natural home remedies in addition to prescription or OTC medications to help fight lice. There are various OTC treatments—prescription and natural remedies—used against lice to block their tracks. Some of them are listed below:
Buy a fine-toothed comb
A fine-toothed comb is a gold standard for removing head lice; you’ll need a good quality comb in conjunction with almost all the treatments and remedies. First of all, you have to comb hair section by section using a special comb, like any Nit Free Terminator Comb to remove nits and lice.
Years ago, mothers spent several hours extracting nits by hand from their kids’ hair. These days, a fine-toothed metal comb is available in the market, which is much neater, quicker and cleaner. After a comb-through, you can use a magnifyng light to find out any strays.
No matter what sort of (lice-killing) product or remedy you use, combing it out is the key. You cannot get rid of lousiness until you’ve removed every last egg from your hair.
