Today I want to share the best home remedy for head lice. Head lice are parasitic bugs that live on the scalp and feed off of human blood. Parasites take from the body and don’t give anything back.

About 12 million kids get head lice every year. Lice can bite you up to five times per day. They lay their eggs behind the ears and the nape of the neck. Lice can’t jump or fly, but they can crawl.

Natural remedies for head lice:
1. Use a fine-tooth comb to get the lice out of the hair
2. Use hot water to kill them (130 degrees F or 54 degrees C)
3. Use extra virgin olive oil to kill them

My daughter got hair lice 2x, I used olive oil and wrapped her head with a plastic bag. She slept with it and next day those parasite were all dead. I used the comb to get the ones that stick to the hair and that's it.

I was blessed, my kids never had them, I did not know that olive oil helps. THANK YOU!

[dawne]

I remember dealing with them when the children were young. A bit of advice from those days. Pay for the metal fine tooth comb. Lots of oils work.

Saturate hair with olive oil and cover with a plastic shower cap; leave on overnite. In the morning, wash with coconut oil based shampoo. Use a fine-toothed metal comb. Worked great on my kids and non-toxic.

Neem oil worked out brilliantly for me a few years ago

[maxibake]

Always used Tea tree Essential oil when the kids were little, & head lice were creeping round the school. 8-10 drops mixed in a tablespoon of any hair conditioner, rub into hair leave on for 15 minutes, rinse of, they couldn't grip the hairs after that. Made their heads smell like Vosene. Definitely use those fine toothed combs too.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care everybody. ❤️🙂🐶

dr berg can you do a video on natural remedies for dandruff. Thanks

[dandude]

Dr. Berg I am telling everyone about your channel! Amazing!

[katarzynaherman]

Thank you for your advice.
My friend used hair straightener (iron) to remove them from her daughter hairs

[maryvanlanen]

I've always done olive oil, it WORKS! Plus makes your hair tangle free and shiny if you completely rinse out with soap about 3-5times

Vinegar will also help dissolve glue from the nits. They fall right out.

[theeyesofakid]

can you please make a video on if smell breakes your fast? i really want to know this because i live near the kitchen

[arnahw]

Good video. But I think it would also be helpful to let folks know how long to leave the olive oil in and when to retreat because of the eggs. Lice were a huge problem where we used to live. I wish I had know this info then.

[ChasingMidnight]

I used oil in the past on my kids but I think I used coconut. I quite enjoy sorting through the lines of hair and crushing the eggs between the backs of my nails. You get that satisfying snap before pulling it off the hair.

Could you do something on lower back pain and spasms please

[goldenbox]

I learned this in the Middle East. Put one single drop of oil of rosemary on the person's head in the morning. Natural body heat disperses the oil through the scalp.

Lice cannot produce eggs in that environment so within a few days the head is clear. This can also be used as a preventative measure.

My mom was a nits lady back years ago and always put a 1/2 c baking soda into our bath water for prevention...worked wonders

Dr. Berg thank you for simplifying this 👍
