There are several ways to get rid of head lice. Application of a chemically-based treatment, herbal shampoo or by bug-busting (also known as the wet combing method).
Natural, herb-based treatments are becoming more widely used with the herbal market growing over the last few decades. The growth in the industry has been helped largely by research into this field.
Neem seed extract, a highly concentrated extract from the seeds of the Neem Tree, has been shown to be a powerful repellent against head lice. Unlike the chemical-based head lice treatments, there have been no reports of resistance to Neem. Also, as it does not contain harmful chemicals, it does not cause any side effects as a result of the treatment.
