The tea tree oil treatment was rated number one in the independent research conducted by human parasitology expert Professor Richard Speare at the Anton Breinl Centre for Public Health and Tropical Medicine. The findings were published in journal of Medical and Veterinary Entomology. “Studies have shown that a number of common chemical treatments are now ineffective due to increasing resistance of head lice. Coupled with the fact that many parents just don’t want to use toxic treatments on their children, natural head lice treatments are proving popular alternatives” says Dr Anthony Cunliffe, GP. “The findings from this research highlight the efficacy of tea tree oil for both head lice treatment and prevention. Tea tree oil has been used as an effective medicine by Aboriginals for thousands of years - and unlike insecticidal chemicals, it doesn’t leave toxic residue on the scalp or hair and is gentle enough to use on children.”
