Did you seen all the reports this fall that stated there is a outbreak of drug-resistant head lice? The outbreak was first reported this fall when all our kids went back to school.....nice timing! Just watching and reading these reports made my head itch! With our three kids, the idea of it spreading through my house was too much for me to even think about!!!!
This is when I really started to look at my essential oils and came up with a plan to prevent instead of treat! I found that studies said that drug resistant lice were resistant to insecticides. I was not comfortable using insecticides anyway, so I found methods that didn't rely on insecticides.
I made up this mixture and have been using it on the kids every morning before school. I told them it was to take the knots out.....until I got called out by my then 3 year old, who obviously was listening when I didn't think she was....."no mom, it's the little bug spray"! HA!
Recipe:
