subject: Head Lice - One Important Natural Medicine [print this page] Author: Madeleine Innocent Author: Madeleine Innocent
Head lice are very common in children and tend to make people feel their family hygiene is not very good. This is not the case. Its just a fact that they are common in children. Its part of growing up, part of the road to creating a healthy immune system.
Normally head lice are treated with harsh chemicals from your chemist or doctor. While these may be effective ways of riding your child of the parasite, it may also harm your child. No harsh medication is ever without side effects.
Are there any alternatives? Ones that work, that is?
The answer is a resounding yes!
The homeopathic medicine Staphysagria works by making the skin of your child unattractive to insects, not just lice.
This is taken internally, rather than topically. Instructions will be on the packet you purchase. But as a general rule, the problem will be gone within a few days of treatment. If they are still a problem after a week, then this medicine is probably not the right one for your child. The problem is likely to be deeper.
And in that case, a visit to a professional homeopath is the best way forward.
Homeopathy works by individualising everyone. So, although Staphysagria is very efficient at resolving skin parasites, it isnt individualising you. So you cant expect it to work for 100% of the people affected. But it probably works for about 70%, maybe more.
And once you have made a successful start on treating one condition with homeopathy, then you naturally want to do more. Curing head lice in your child may be the start of a journey for you. One of taking control of your own health and that of your familyAbout the Author:
