Head lice

Head lice — itching, nits along the hair.

Food Remedies

Main remedy
Coconut oil thick through the hair, then a fine lice comb section by section — the oil slows the lice so the comb can catch them. Repeat every three days for two weeks to break the egg cycle. A neem-water rinse between combings helps. Wash combs and pillow covers hot.
