Regarding head lice, would lavender oil repel them?

I was told by a hair dresser that if head lice is going around my daughters class room to put some lavender oil in water in a spray bottle and liberally spray her hair and braid it and this will help stop her getting head lice, is this true, or am I making my daughter smell like an old lady for nothing?Regarding head lice, would lavender oil repel them?
Well I am from west virginia and I dont know if you know this but in hte holler we has the nits and stuff alots especially when it gets cold and they sleeping four and five to a bed. Yeah, I know what you city folks think and it aint nothing dirty just keepion warm. My Momma usaed pepper spray and it hurt me eyes like the dickens but I never got not bugs in my hair and got all the way through high school without gettin pregnintRegarding head lice, would lavender oil repel them?
I heard about it too but never tried.





Back in the day, my sister used to get it once a month from the kids in her class. It was pretty brutal because we both had really long hair and I would have to treat it as well, just in case.





My mom didn't want to keep using those nasty chemicals every time and someone suggested using oil and vinegar.





It worked like a charm and it didn't stink (well, you smell a bit like a salad until you shampoo). The vinegar kills them and the oil helps with the knots in the hair. It works out great because most people have it on hand. Everyone that I know who tried it thanks me!





Good luck!
I've heard about that but never tried it. Tee-tree oil works also (for some reason they hate the smell!). You can buy shampoo with it in it, or you can add some to your own shampoo and it takes alot of the hassle out of it and it doesn't feel quite so nasty on your head as a spray does.
I do not know, never heard about it. My daughter had classmates that had lice. Instead of using medicated shampoo's and stuff they did home remedies. Then they kept just putting their children back in class. The outbreak kept coming back. With these kind of parents around, I would try anything to limit the chance's.
Using conditioner stuns them so you can try that too. Put a little on and then use a lice brush. It only stuns them for a little while so do it and brush quickly...
I use tea tree oil by same method you do.





Never tried Lavender oil, but I will now its been mentioned. headlice are a big problem these days :@
yes or peppermint or rosemary oil. Use the one that smells best to you and your daughter.

Lavender Oil?

anyone out there have a link to a pure lavender oil that I can use in my burner to assist with sleeping?


TIA..... :)Lavender Oil?
Make sure it is real and not synthetic and the synthetics have no medicinal powers.





Any health food store like wild oats, whole foods, or local ones or coops should have it and you will save shipping.





Aura casia is the most common brand.

The reason I ask is because I have a store I use to get all my massage products and I belive they also carry oil's to use in the burner.
I love it. it relaxes me.

Lavender Oil.............?

Hi,


I was wondering when I massaged in lavender oil how much water should i use to dilute it? Also, is it good to breathe it in? Like if you want to be calmed can you unscrew the bottle and take a deep breath in is that ok? I am taking a plane ride and want to be calm.


Thanks!Lavender Oil.............?
You can dilute it in any amount you wish in another scentless oil or even lotion but I personally don't-I just use it straight. However if I don't dilute, I go into the plane's bathroom to apply if I can because the smell is so strong otherwise :) I think it is fine to unscrew the bottle and inhale. I don't know if you have any huge health markets near where you live, but I bought a silk eye mask with lavender flowers in it that you crush between your fingers so it calms you with the natural oils in the dried flower AND is nice and dark for relaxing.Lavender Oil.............?
Inhaling it straight is just fine. When I have a headache I rub some of the essential oil onto my wrists and inhale frequently. I don't dilute it at all.





You might also try Bach's Rescue Remedy or Hyland's Calms Forte.





B vitamins, zinc and chromium picolinate are also quite helpful for anxiety.
Hello





From memory Lavender Oil can be used undiluted. %26amp; safe to smell.





I put in on my hands during healing sessions neat.

What ways can the essential oil lavender be used?

i heard it can whiten teeth? not sure thoughWhat ways can the essential oil lavender be used?
Haven't heard of teeth whiting, But aroma therapy. Lavender makes babies sleep. =]

Can you use essential oils in tea? Like lavender essential oil?

or others?Can you use essential oils in tea? Like lavender essential oil?
Lavender oil, or any essential oil for that matter, should never be taken internally unless administered or prescribed by a full quaified aromatherapist or other health professional specialising in the uses and administration of such essential oils .............. what did you want to heal??





Try putting a few drops of pure essential lavender oil in a warm bath and soak in that for 15 - 20 minutes ~ inhale the beautifull calming aromas. It reduces stress and calms the nervous system, lifts depression and eases headaches and insomnia too 鈾?br>




caution ~ avoid using for the first 4 months ofpregnancy, longer if there is a history of miscarriage........... if that is the case simply substitue for chamomile tea ... Chamomile tea is a classic and popular bedtime anti - insomnia drink and will soothe the over excitable, relieve mental strain and stress, depression and insomnia............... only organic though, as the commercial varieties have had nearly all the essential oils pulverised from them and could never possibly be used for therapeutic purposes.





take care of you 鈾?br>

Star 4 u !! ....:0)Can you use essential oils in tea? Like lavender essential oil?
NO ESSENTIAL OIL SHOULD EVER BE TAKEN


INTERNALLY!!!!!





Essential oils should be diluted with a carrier oil


for use in body massage.


Please read and understand


what you are using BEFORE


using it.


Putting a full strength essential oil into tea would


most likely kill you.


To help you sleep, put a few


drops of the oil on a cloth and


put it under your pillowcase.


the same with hops extract.
Essential oils are not ment for tea. Would you put Perfume or cologne in your tea? In a sense that's sorta what you're asking. Essential oils can be used on the skin if made for that or in a vaporizer. Use the essential oils for what they were made for not anything else.. you don't want to make yourself sick do you?
essential oils arent supposed to be taken orally. The neat oils shouldnt be put straight onto skin either...they must be mixed in a base oil, such as olive oil and then used on the skin for massage or alternatively you can put a few drops in bath water... To help you sleep, try putting a few drops of the neat oil on your pillow. DONT DRINK IT!!
I am an Aromatherapist and I would recommend putting just a drop of lavender on your pillow at night, and remember that less is better don't try adding more to help you sleep because it will have the opposite effect. if it is too strong it will act as a stimulant. As for the tea why not try chamomile tea it is very relaxing. Ingesting a drop of lavender wont kill you, I have had it before with mixed with honey but I wouldn't recommend it really doesn't taste nice at all!!!! There are very highly qualified Aromatherapist that do ingest essential oils but they have done a lot if research and that's a whole other story!!
It depends on the essential oil. How about the essential oil of banana that is in bananas?





It does pay to use care. Some herb and essential oil cataloges separate the edible oils from the others.





Look up essential oils. Some are in foods as well, and some are poisons
Massage of the scalp with Lavender oil is refreshing and relieves the symptoms of headache which is also a cause of sleeplessness.

^.^What can i do with lavender oil?
There are many wonderful things to do with lavender oil.


I know an old lady who used to shampoo her cat (yes cat) with a mixture of lavender oil and baby shampoo, the cat loved it.


You can sprinkle it sparingly on cornflakes.


It mixes in with muffins beautifully.


It keeps snakes away.


Add it to coffee for that exotic smell.


Shoes shine much brighter when rubbed with a little of it and then buffed up.


It is said that it eases certain ';ladies'; problems that occur regularly.What can i do with lavender oil?
5 drops in a bath


2 drops on a bed pillow


a few drops in palm rubbed over hands to disinfect


make your own household cleaner, 10 drops lav, 3 tablespoons vinegar, 3-4 ounces warm water in a spray bottle


5 drops on a cotton ball in your clothing drawer


be careful using on lightbulbs, a lamp ring (around $3) is best


a drop on the temples for a headache


a drop in your moisterurizer to tone skin


or just sniff the bottle to sooth the mind
Lavender is good for burns, you can put it on your skin for a natural bug repellent (I use this all summer long and it works), and it's antifungal, it will helps stop the itch from a bug bite as well. Or you could put it on your neck and wear it as a perfume.
Lavender oil mixed with peppermint oil spread on the forehead extinguishes headache 4 out of 5 times.
Instead of using an oil burner, dab some oil on a light globe and once turned on and heated, the smell emanates throughout the room...mmm
Put a few drops in your bath water.


Just a few though.


Its very relaxing.Aromatherapy.
A dab on a cotton ball or swab can be applied to pimples - they will disappear faster. Also one or two drops on your pillow will help you sleep.
If you put it on your pillow case it helps a person go to sleep and have a peaceful rest.
Put it on your pillow at night to help you sleep.
burn it in an oil burner. Smells sooooo nice :) really calming too!
