العربية

مقدمة

I remember back في elementary school when my mother و teachers told my classmates و me about importance من never sharing hairbrushes. That was because if I was إلى share hairbrush with classmate who had lice, و they passed brush back إلى me, و I used it - that meant I would have lice too. That is significant problem primarily among school-aged kids. However, anyone can end up with lice.

There is one fortunate thing nowadaysif you were إلى end up with lice, و that there are better treatments لـ it than there were في past. One common remedy لـ lice is use من tea tree oil.

ما هو Is Tea Tree زيت?

If you think that this oil comes from شعرك teabag, then you are wrong. However, it is understandable that you would think that way since name can be confusing.

Tree teal oil is native إلى Australia, و it is also known as Melaleuca oil; و it has many excellent uses, including killing lice. However, experts have mixed things about tea tree oil being as potent when killing lice as it once was.

In addition, tea tree oil as treatment alone is not as effective as it once was because من overuse من insecticides as tea tree oil has been one لـ years.

Therefore, evidence shows that lice began building up resistance إلى oil. However, it is not entirely useless either, و it can still provide enough benefits when it comes إلى preventing lice from going into شعرك hair, more so than treating it if you already have lice.

كيف Is Prevention Different From علاج?

Prevention من something happening does not let it occur.

That means you can find way from having lice في شعرك hair which is prevention. علاج is taking care من problem if it has already happened. If you have lice و need إلى remove them, you have إلى look لـ treatment. متى it comes إلى tea tree oil, it is more effective at preventing lice outbreak than treating problem.

That is why it is great idea إلى have bottle من tea tree oil في شعرك medicine cabinet if there is concern about lice.

If you put tea tree oil on شعرك hair before you have any lice, then there is an excellent chance that it will repel lice from going إلى شعرك hair إلى lay eggs. The other great thing about tea tree oil is that it is very soothing on scalp. You only need إلى put في few drops من essential oil و rub it في well.

Therefore, lice find odor من tea tree oil repulsive, which is why they will stay away from you if you have it on you.

However, bad news is that if you already have lice, tea tree oil will not do much إلى treat issue. Even though lice cannot stand smell من tea tree oil, it is not enough إلى keep them away from شعرك scalp و hair if they are already there. The reason is that tea tree oil does not suffocate lice, و lice have already developed resistance إلى an ingredient في tea tree oil. Therefore, even though it does not work when treating lice, it still works as an excellent preventative measure.

متى Is It أفضل To Use Tea Tree زيت متى It Comes To Lice Prevention?

You can begin إلى use tea tree oil لـ شعرك child before camp or school starts because an outbreak من lice can happen unexpectedly, و there is no way إلى predict when it can happen.

However, if you don't, you will need إلى begin applying tea tree oil إلى شعرك child's scalp as soon as there is news circulating about an outbreak happening at school or camp. You will also need إلى begin using it if family member has lice or feels that you have had exposure إلى an outbreak. Lice do not only happen إلى kids. Lice do not discriminate regarding age, race, religion, income, or social status.

كيف Do You Evaluate The Presence Of Lice On الشعر?

You cannot evaluate شعرك hair if you think you have lice, as you will need إلى have someone else do it. However, if you feel that شعرك child or family member has lice, then there is way إلى check لـ it. You also want إلى keep في mind that if شعرك child has lice, there is an 80 percent chance that you or sibling will have it. The best thing إلى do when checking لـ lice is إلى check front من hairline و crown.

You also need إلى check behind ears و behind neck لـ lice.
