News India Live, Digital Desk: With the arrival of winter, dandruff has become a common thing due to bathing with hot water and dry scalp. At the same time, having lice is also an infectious disease which occurs due to dirt in hair or coming in contact with an infected person. Let us know how you can fight them without spending money.

1. ‘Magical’ confluence of camphor and coconut oil
This recipe is considered effective for lice. The strong aroma and anti-septic properties of Camphor suffocate the lice.

  • How to use: Warm half a cup of coconut oil and add 2-3 pieces of ground camphor to it. Now massage your or child’s head thoroughly with this mixture. Leave it overnight and comb your hair the next morning. You will see that the lice will disappear from the head in one go and the scalp will also get coolness due to the oil.

2. Bitter but sure cure of lemon and neem
Neem is definitely bitter, but there is no better medicine than this for hair infections (like dandruff and lice).

  • How to use: Make a paste of neem leaves and squeeze the juice of one fresh lemon into it. Apply it like a pack on the entire head and hair roots. Wash with plain water after about 30 to 45 minutes. The acid of lemon cuts away dandruff and the bitterness of neem kills lice. By doing this twice a week, all head infections go away.

Small but important advice:
It may take some time to see the effect of home remedies, but they are completely safe. When you follow these remedies, keep in mind that you should also wash the comb and towel in hot water so that the infection does not spread again.
