Natural head lice treatments - safe for baby and me?

[punkybam]

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know of a safe way of killing head lice while pregnant?
I am a teacher and have contracted them off the kiddies but I'm going mad scratching while I search for a safe method of removal.
Can anyone help?

Hi Punky,

I have found the only thing that works for DD is vinegar!

I rinse vinegar through her hair and then comb through with lice brush - a really tight one.

Then i run through soem conditioner and comb again.

Problem solved!

I'm pretty sure the wee wuns online store sells natural head lice remedies.

I heard 100% orange juice works! Cant remember what you do exactly but i think you wash your hair in it and it kills them and the eggs! Good luck!

There is a non-toxic head lice remedy from a company called Wild Child. They are Perth based but if you google Wild Child you will be able to get a stockist from the website. They also make great sun screen products without the nasty ingredients.

Try just using a thick white conditioner, leave it in for a while then comb with a nit comb. Another joy of teaching isn't it LOL I got them my 1st year,I nearly died cause I had gone all through school without them.
I used a spray which was 100ml water, 5 drops lavender, 5 drop tea tree and 5 drops eucalyptus to put on my hair as a preventative measure when we lived in NT.
