Term 2 Is Coming… and So Are the Lice 😨

Ah, Term 2—the season of cooler weather, shorter days, and the return of the ever-challenging task: crafting healthy, nourishing lunchboxes for another 10 weeks. And, of course, the inevitable lice letter from school. If you’re anything like me, you remember last year’s note arriving faster than your child could misplace their school jumper.

Now, I don’t know what it is about kids born in 2015–2016, but head lice seem to have a particular fondness for them. Maybe it’s their youthful zest or perhaps the luring scent of their shampoo? Regardless, my daughter’s horse thick, curly hair became a five-star resort for these tiny invaders…more often than I’d like to admit!

Initially, I tried to stay holistic. But after multiple re-infestations, I found myself reaching for the “nicer” greenwashed chemical treatments. Spoiler alert: they didn’t work long-term. Plus, the thought of those chemicals seeping into her scalp and bloodstream was killing me softly. I even dabbled in ozone therapy—yes, with a gas mask and all. Effective? VERY! Practical? NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST! Homeopathy… YES! But when I needed to act fast, I never had the right remedies in low potency or a ready-made blend that could conveniently cover all the key symptoms right in that moment. I needed something quick, effective, and easy to use—on the spot.

Desperate times led me to discover Nit-Enz Organic Shampoo. It’s like bathing in a forest of Christmas trees—thanks to its strong pine scent—but it’s 100% natural, NZ-made, and most importantly, it works.

Here’s how we use it:

• Treatment: Apply to wet hair, leave for 20 minutes, rinse, and condition and comb (this time only).

• Prevention: Use 1-2 times a week during regular shampooing and conditioning routines.

Since incorporating Nit-Enz into our routine, we’ve been lice-free for nearly a year (Thank goodness). No more endless nit comb sessions, no more chemical guilt, and no more head piranhas setting up camp on my daughter’s scalp and having a feast.

But I Didn’t Stop There…

After countless battles with head lice and exploring various treatments, I realized that external solutions alone might not be fully effective, as parasitic infestations often manifest due to internal imbalances or disharmony within the body. Determined to tackle the issue from the inside out, I crafted a gentle yet comprehensive homeopathic remedy blend. This concoction addresses both the immediate symptoms and the underlying factors that make some individuals more susceptible to these persistent pests.

Introducing My Homeopathic Blend for Head Lice Support: ‘Bye-Bye Head Piranhas Blend’

This blend is designed to support the body’s natural defenses and alleviate the discomfort associated with lice infestations. Here’s a breakdown of the carefully selected remedies:

• Vinca Minor: Traditionally used for scalp conditions characterized by oozing moisture, matting of hair, and corrosive itching. Beneficial in cases where hair becomes tangled and sticky due to scalp secretions.​

• Staphysagria: Particularly effective for lice infestations following emotional stress, accompanied by intense scalp itching.​

• Sabadilla: Known for addressing intense scalp itching with a crawling sensation, sometimes accompanied by sneezing.​

• Sulphur: A classic remedy for dry, unhealthy scalps prone to lice, with intense itching, especially at night. Addresses scalp conditions that are sweaty and emit an unpleasant odor.​

• Chelidonium Majus: Recognized for its hepatoprotective effects, supporting liver function and reducing inflammation. Liver support is essential, as parasitic infestations like lice are more common when the body’s toxicity burden is high.​

• Caladium Seguinum: Addresses burning and itching at the site of insect bites, which worsen at night and from warmth.​

• Calendula Officinalis: A remarkable healing agent, excellent for treating cuts, torn, or lacerated scalp wounds resulting from excessive scratching. Promotes healing and prevents infection in irritated scalp areas.​

Dosage & Usage: Administer the blend 2-3x daily for 21 days. This regimen supports both the elimination of current infestations and the prevention of future occurrences by attempting to address the underlying susceptibilities.​

Note: If you’ve completed the 21-day course of the homeopathic blend without noticeable improvement, it’s advisable to consult a qualified homeopathic practitioner for a personalized prescription tailored to your child’s specific needs (though I can assure you will see an evident change with Nit-Enz THOUGH this is only treating the symptom- not the cause).​ To delve deeper into the root causes of this health disturbance, consider booking a comprehensive chronic consultation. This in-depth session will evaluate your child’s full medical history and symptom profile to find a well matched and deeply acting homeopathic remedy.​
