Tea Tree Oil

• Drops of tea tree oil can be dropped in an ordinary shampoo or rubbed on combs and brushed through the infected head.
  
  

Alternative Oils

• A mixture of other oils, such as vegetable oil, rosemary oil, lavender oil and lemon oil rubbed into the scalp is also effective.
  
  

Natural Products

• Various natural products that are toxin and pesticide-free are available; however, it is best to use a product that contains an enzymatic formula.
  
  

Mayonnaise

• Rubbing mayonnaise into the scalp and covering it with a shower cap overnight can also kill lice.
  
  

Home-made Mixture

• A home-made mixture of pennyroyal oil, garlic and distilled water can also be effective. The mixture is applied once a day and repeated for at least three days or until no insects and eggs are visible.
