Preventing Head Lice with Essential Oils

Head lice are an itchy nuisance, and they can spread easily, but it's not hard to keep them out of your hair by taking precautions using essential oils. Certain essential oils, including tea tree, lavender, eucalyptus globulus, rosemary, peppermint, cedarwood, geranium, neroli and lemongrass, can help keep these bugs at bay.

We have developed a powerful recipe for getting rid of and preventing lice. It contains all the above essential oils in an effective combination, which is blended into a leave-in conditioner. You can make this recipe yourself at home. See our Essential Oils Lice Prevention Treatment recipe. For further lice prevention, combine this conditioning treatment with our Vitalize Shampoo with eucalyptus and tea tree.

Lice can also live in your clothing, sheets, and blankets. Use the same blend of essential oils  indicated in the above recipe but blend it into an Unscented Spray Mist. Spritz this blend liberally on clothing, linens, etc, to help prevent lice infestation.
