Two Top Home Remedies.
Tea Tree Oil for Scabies Treatment
Tea tree oil has natural disinfectant and antiseptic properties that can be used on many skin problems. One of the compounds, Terpinen-4, in tea tree oil is the active component that kills Scabies mites.
Apply Tea Tree Oil directly to the affected area. Do this twice a day to the affected area. This needs to be done for up to 2 weeks for best results. Once exposed to tea tree oil Scabies mites will die.
Note: if you have sensitive skin then you may need to use a 30% strength solution. I recommend starting off with a lower strength to see how the skin reacts as well as checking for positive results.
Tea Tree Oil is only effective for mites that are on the surface, the mites burrow into the skin and this remedy will not be as effective. It is not effective on Scabies eggs as these are not on the surface, however used in conjunction with Apple Cider Vinegar this proves to be very successful. I would also recommend that it be used in conjunction with other natural scabies remedies
It will also give great relief for the scabies itch and rash which in itself is an additional positive reason for its use.
Apple Cider Vinegar for Scabies Treatment
Vinegar which has a high PH causes scabies mites to die when used on the skin.
Make a solution of equal parts of vinegar and water. DO NOT use vinegar without diluting the solution to 50%. Apply the solution using a cotton ball or similar to areas of the skin that are affected, leaving the solution on the skin for 15 minutes.
Use this treatment three times daily to naturally and permanently get rid of the Scabies mites.
These are natural treatments that have proved very effective.
