LICE INFESTATION
Lice are a small, wingless, flattened insect, which produces irritating dermatitis on the scalp.
Herbal Treatments:
1. Shampoo hair with gugo bark or commercial shampoo.
2. Immediately after the shampoo, comb the hair to remove the dead lice on the hair.
3. If possible, shampoo every day for one week and comb hair fine with fine comb twice a day.
4. Get rid of the nits (lice eggs), wet hair with hot vinegar for half an hour before shampoo. Then comb hair with fine comb thoroughly.
5. At bedtime, pound ½ cup of atis or sugar apple seeds. Mix it with ¼ cup oil. Apply thoroughly the oil-and-atis-seed mixture over the scalp and hair. Wrap the hair and head with a piece of clean cloth and leave it overnight. Shampoo the next morning and comb the hair with fine comb.
6. Do this treatment daily for 3-5 days or until all lice are gone and nits are gone. Destroy or kill the lice and nits as soon as they are removed from the hair and head.
7. Always keep hair clean and well combed. Don’t use the comb of other persons. Don’t sleep with an individual with lice infested head and hair.
