No, I would not use this to kill lice. Please see below. If you are interested in ordering product please visit:http://www.youngliving.com my member ID # is 1936968. Make up the head lice blend using the proportions listed below. Head Lice Blend: 4 drops Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) 4 drops thyme 2 drop lavender 2 drop geranium Dilute 50-50 with coconut oil mixed with another fatty oil such as almond, olive or sunflower oil. Apply 1 teaspoon of mixture to scalp. Massage over entire head and into hair, cover with disposable shower cap or small plastic bag and leave for at least 1/2 hour. Then shampoo and rise well. Wash hair bending over a sink. Do not wash hair in the shower as lice may cling to other body hairs. Follow by using the rinse below. Head Lice Rinse: 2 drops rosemary 2 drops clove 2 drops peppermint 1/2 oz. vinegar 8 oz. water Mix into a container with a watertight lid. Shake vigorously, then pour over hair making sure every strand is rinsed. Rinse and dry naturally. Repeat daily until lice and eggs are gone, usually from 10-14 days.

No. It is advertised only as a topical treatment for ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, biting flies and lice.

Lice are not that hard to get rid of. I wouldn't bother buying this. Wash the sheets etc, use a regular vacuum, use the lice shampoo, and everything should be fine. I think buying this for lice would be a waste of money.

Yes. This comb does a very good job of removing lice and nits from hair. My daughter had very thick curly hair and it did a wonderful job.

We do NOT recommend that you do this at all. This oil should be used on its own. thank you.

Lice don't like the smell of rosemary and that's the natural ingredient that repels them. As a grandmother and have tried everything out there this was the only thing that worked for kids under 2 yrs of age and it doesn't hurt them and leaves a great smelling scent. If you are considering buying it Do! It is the best for kids starting preschool and the detangler I spay on her before she goes to school and on her back back and whatever else she maybe carrying or wearing! It's worked great for my family and I will be ordering more!

According to this it can be. http://www.ehow.com/how_2164041_use-cedar-oil-as-insect.html Keep in mind this of course isn't a skin contact situation and you will need other ingredients. On the other hand, your clothing, your household, and your pets will have an aroma reminiscent of an old english wardrobe. So there is an upside.

I used it to clean the house of scabies, which I believe are smaller than head lice. It was very effective in clearing out the scabies on the beds, furniture, floors, etc. I cleaned everything with it and did not feel I had any residual chemicals throughout the house. It worked, that's what I liked about it and you choose how much to dilute it. (2-4 oz per gallon, I used 3oz.)

Auhhhh not sure how me purchasing Lavender oil for making hair creams has anything to do with cockroaches...lol...how ever, the best thing to use is Boric Acid, must keep it away from pets, however if you sprinkle some down under kitchen sink and where ever they are nesting, all it will take is one roach that will carry this powder on its little legs to the nest and will kill all, your problems should be solved. Have a great week-end, and God Bless.

It's perfectly fine to use as an everyday shampoo to repel lice. It will not work if your child already has lice, though.

Everything I have read says that this isn't really for human consumption. It is also a powerful anti-microbial, and insecticide and fungicide. I suspect you shouldn't allow your child to consume it. I'm sure there are other remedies that are less dangerous.

No it cannot. In fact, it is very sensitive to any moisture. I must say that it's wonderful for removing lice, but any tiny ones that are difficult to see can be missed possibly. Also, eggs are not picked up by this comb, which makes it a nearly impossible task to completely remove every one of them. I struggled with this for four months, and finally ended up doing the chemical treatment, though I did not want to do that again to my daughter.

It kills mites on contact and they are very hard to kill, over the counter products for lice are not as strong as what is needed for mites, so I would say "Yes"-it cleared the mites out!

I do not know if it kills lice, but it is amazing with fleas and other types of bugs...This is a really good product and I assume it will take care of lice. Good Luck!

I use this argan oil on my toddler. She is 2.5 and has very fine hair that gets tangled very easily. I use a tiny drop of argan oil to help manage it and have seen a lot of improvement in the overall health of her hair!

Only my opinion, I would be careful using this with a very young child. Do some research about DEET and children. That might give you more accurate information.

Sorry, I only got it for my dogs dry skin she was digging at. I have no info on how it would work on lice
