Tea Tree Lice Remedy
by Melanie
November 2009
My daughter contracted lice when she was in 1st grade and when we discovered it, it was really bad. She had already infected her 2 sisters by then. What a nightmare - 3 girls with long hair! We even found a few on their younger brother, who thankfully has short hair. We figured she had been infected for about 2 weeks given all the lice that was in her hair. It was quite creepy.
The remedy that I used was Tea Tree oil. If I remember correctly, it was 1 cup of warm water and about 10 drops of Tea Tree oil. We massaged it into the hair and let sit for about 5-10 minutes. I must say that it worked very well. We also used the nit comb to loosen them off. It was still a lot of picking, but the results were immediate. You could actually see the lice fall off. I did try the chemicals from the store, but it did not do as good of a job as the Tea Tree Oil.

I have been using The Immune Booster tincture successfully for fever. When someone runs a fever, we start giving a dropperful or so every hour until it is down. Then, we decrease to every 3-4 hours. This has worked many times. Thanks for the recipe.

Did You Know?
The daily consumption of Spirulina can improve and restore your energy levels like few other food sources can. This is partly due to its high content of riboflavin. Riboflavin helps release energy from carbohydrates, proteins and fats. So, the more riboflavin you consume, the more energy you'll get out of the foods you eat. Spirulina has more riboflavin than any other food source, making it perfect for those desiring an energy boost without any side effects.
