I love using tea tree oil, and it has proven itself time after time in helping to control all sorts of insect problems, including head lice.

When you are short of a commercially prepared lice shampoo, a great natural alternative until you can get some more is to add 15 drops of tea tree oil for each ounce of your favorite shampoo. Some studies have shown that adding some peppermint essential oil may boost the effectiveness.

Besides helping to ward off the little bugs, the tingly feeling makes you feel like its working to do something for you.

I may have to try some of your “Boo Shampoo” to see how it works.
