Help!

Have a question, I have a child in elementry school and unfortunately there are head lice that go around perodically. According to the info. on the "Lendine Shampoo," the inpesticides can or will cause nervous disorders and hypertension. It says that it can also kill. There has to be some sort of a natural way to get rid of this problem when it is necessary. Can someone please help ? I am real new to this group, (second time reading) and love it. Any help would be appriciated.

Many times thanks,
Lukast

If s/he has already been infected with head lice prepare the following and leave on overnight:

Melt 1oz. white beeswax and 2 oz. castor oil in a double boiler. Allow this mixture to cool and stir in 30 drops rosemary oil and lavender oil. Massage well into the scalp.

If you want to prevent infestation, rinse your child's hair with a few drops of lemon oil, geranium & rosemary.
