Sugar Cook

This is very embarressing but I need some help. My grandma that lives next door has my cousins live with her. They can't seem to get rid of head lice. Everytime they do it just comes back. They have tried all sorts of treatments and I want to visit with my grandma but I can't because i am afraid I will get the nasty little bugs. Please help me. Does any one have any natural treatments that doesn't include those over counter medicines. My grandma has spent a lot of money on those treatments and they don't work. Please help me to help them. I know this is disgusting but it is the only way I can get answers. Thank you so much!

Head lice!!!!!!!!!!?

Q. There was an epedemic at school and i got them. Every one got rid of there's but mine wont go. We've tried over 5 different products but they dont work. Any suggestions


and what do i do about my friend with lice. She's had them for ages and always denies it but iv'e seen them crawling in her hair and she lives down the street so i cant really avoid her what do i say
i tried olive oil

Answer
1. Buy a jar of extra virgin organic coconut oil.
2. Melt about two dessert spoonfuls of the solidified oil and let it cool a bit. You don't want to burn your scalp.
3. Apply the oil liberally to your scalp.
4. Massage well into your scalp.
5. Make sure that you put the oil on your hands and work it through the length of hair.
6. Wrap your hair in the plastic wrap you use to cover food, or wear a shower cap. If you're sharing a house and you don't want people to see you looking so weird, you can skip that step.
7. It's best to do this at night so that you can wash your hair next morning.
8. After shampooing your hair, use one of those fine-toothed combs to remove dead lice and any eggs next morning.
9. Coconut oil kills lice by suffocating them and their eggs. See External Links for more details.


Tips

* Use top quality coconut oil. One jar will last for ages. Besides now being recognised as a bone fide treatment for head lice, coconut oil has endless other health benefits. See External Links for details.
* Put an old towel on your pillow so that the oil doesn't stain your pillow cases.


Warnings

* You can be seduced to buy all sorts of shampoos, conditioners and treatments used by reputable organizations. Your coconut oil jar will be enough to kill all the lice in your family, and you can use it for other things.

Where can I find very strong Lice Treatment?

Add ten to fifteen drops of tea tree oil into shampoo bottle and use it daily. Rub listerine mouth wash on your head. This will kill all the lice.

Step One:

Before beginning the process of cleaning the hair of a lice infected individual, make sure you are working in an area that is not carpeted, preferably a bathroom with tile floors. Make sure there are no rugs on the floor, towels or clothes lying around (they make great hiding places for the lice and nits whose homes are being disturbed).

Best to remove shirt or clothing near the area to be cleaned. If the infected hair is long, it may be beneficial to loosely tie the infected hair up on top of the head either with clips or in a ponytail. The lice will try to run and flee the area to be treated when they sense danger, so cut off their escape routes. They may hide in or behind ears, or on the neck. Dip a cotton swab into a safe cleansing liquid and clean out the ears then paint a ring around the outside of the ears and the hair line around the head.

On a dry head, start at the nape of the neck along the hairline and work around the head saturating the hair as you go moving towards the crown where the hair is tied up. Remove the clips or pony tail and continue to apply the Lice cleanser using enough to completely saturate the hair.

Massage the head and work into a lather then comb through hair to ensure coverage (use a metal, regular toothed comb). Wrap or tie the hair back up on top of the head. Every ten minutes or so, massage the hair until 30 to 40 minutes have past.

Reapply the cleanser and work into lather, then comb through hair again (with a metal regular toothed comb). Let sit in hair for another 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

After Dry hair and comb (with nit comb) to remove any remaining lice or nits. The "nit picking" should be done in daylight, outside if possible, and never on carpet. Clean all surfaces and floors after working on hair. Use hot water and a non-toxic liquid cleanser. It is imperative that the head be closely examined for remaining nits.

Step Two:

Lice are highly contagious and it is extremely important that they are eliminated as fast and completely as possible. Proper sanitation of anything in contact with lice is critical to insure re-infestation does not occur.

When lice are first detected, it is important to launder, in a separate load, everything with which the infected person has come in contact. We recommend the use of a non-toxic laundry solution for this process. Do not dry clean or use chlorine bleach.

Bed clothes (including pillows), jackets (and any jackets that may be hanging close to the infested person's jacket), clothing (everything in the laundry basket), hair combs, brushes, ribbons and doodads, rugs and mats should be laundered in hot water at least 140 degrees. It is best to soak laundry in "pre-soak" or "pre-wash" for at least 30 minutes.

Items that are not washable, such as stuffed animals and sofa pillows, may be placed in an air tight plastic bag and sealed for 30 days, causing the lice to suffocate. Carpets, furniture and car seats should be vacuumed twice. After each vacuuming, the vacuums bags should immediately be removed from the vacuum cleaner, sealed in a plastic bag and disposed of outside of the house. After vacuuming, those same areas should be steam-cleaned, if possible.

coconut oil for acne ???

love2last

i love virgin coconut oil its great for so many things.. i understand how it can moisterize and help with wrinkles but help with acne ?? how can an oil help with acne ?

Answer
Coconut oil naturally has antibacterial and antifungal fatty acids, such as caprylic acid and lauric acid. I think its great for dandruff, and its effect at preventing and removing existing dandruff is likely to be via the inhibition of pro-dandruff organisms on the scalp. So I would have thought equally, it may have some anti-acne effect by inhibiting pro-inflammatory/pro-acne micro-organisms at the skins surface/pore entrance. Its also a great hair softener, can kill head lice and has great moisturising properties. Its great for coooking with, and good for health - for keeping gut fungal organisms at bay. Plus lots more benefits if you go and do the research.

Its worth trying.
