Lice suck blood from the scalp which causes constant itching of the head. This damages the hair and can also lower your confidence. Suppose, you are with someone and you scratch your head repeatedly, then the other person will also feel uncomfortable.

Lice and nits do not go away so easily. Many shampoos available in the market claim to get rid of them, but the chemicals present in them make your scalp dry and hair lifeless.

Yes, today we will talk about how a home remedy can be made by mixing common things like camphor and onion in hair oil, which can eliminate lice and nits from the roots. Let us know in this article what is the remedy.

What are the causes of lice and nits?

• Lice are usually caused by dirt, sweat or sharing other people's combs and towels. These are small parasites that suck blood from the scalp and cause itching.
• If you have long hair and you do not clean it regularly, lice get a chance to hide and breed. Nits also easily stick to such hair.
• If you sleep, travel or live close to someone who has head lice, the infestation can spread to your hair.
• The habit of leaving hair wet after washing it also maintains moisture in the scalp, which creates the perfect environment for nits to lay eggs.

Benefits of applying camphor and onion mixed in oil

• This home remedy can be prepared very easily. The strong smell and anti-parasitic properties present in camphor help kill lice. The sulfur present in onion also kills lice eggs.
• The cooling effect of camphor cools the scalp and gives instant relief from itching. If itching or burning is persistent, then this mixture proves to be very effective.
• The mixture of onion and camphor deeply cleanses the scalp. It is also effective in fighting problems like fungal infections and dandruff.
• Onion contains sulfur and antioxidants, which strengthen the hair roots and prevent them from falling. Applying it mixed with oil improves blood circulation, which helps in faster hair growth.
• Coconut oil, camphor and onion together nourish the scalp from within. This mixture also helps in removing toxins from the scalp.
